Are Lebanese people Arab, Phoenicians or a hybrid?
Of all the Middle Eastern countries (excluding Israel, Iran, Cyprus, Turkey and the Caucasus, which are on the border) I know that all are mostly made up of Arabs, but I have heard conflicting arguments over whether Lebanese people are also Arab, Phoenician or a hybrid. Which is the correct answer?

The Lebanese people are a melting pot of races. They are combinations of Phoenicians, Arabs, Persians, Jews, Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Europeans, Egyptians, Armenians, and Turks. That's what the Lebanese people are made of.
So yeah, Hybrid.

being arab is not a race or a nationality.. its a classification of language and culture group.. so yes, lebanese are arabs.. probably of European decent and caucasian... but arab cause there language and culture is arabic..

Arabs where in Palestine way before Israelite, All the area was open to each other so Phoenicians and Arabs were mixing together, thus hybrid.
Now what this can make in difference ?? You want to be an Arab, let it be, you wana be a Persian, you bet...
