Really?
Phonecia has ceased to exist since 539 BC
Furthermore the empire comprised of these countries:
Algeria
Cyprus
France
Greece
Israel
Italy
Jordan
Lebanon
Libya
Malta
Morocco
Portugal
Spain
Syria
Tunisia
Turkey
So hardly a claim that can be made by Lebanese in Lebanon whose history has been long influenced by Arab culture. Maybe the Christian Lebanese have a greater claim? Anyway 8 of the countries listed are Arab.
Quote Wiki :- "Arab influence, nevertheless, applies to virtually all aspects of the modern Lebanese culture."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_peopleThe fact that Lebanese in Australia are both Christian & Muslim ........
the Christians being here from 1890
the Muslims from around 1975
and that's when the rot started
Cockies(New South Welshmen) have been packing up & moving out ever since.
I know cause most of the bastards have moved to QLD.
As well as too many Victorians.
