They are Arabs

All historical and archeological evidence point to this SELF-EVIDENT FACT : 

there are NO TRUE SEMITES ... no such people or language as "TRUE SEMITES" ... just call them ARABS, which is more than sufficient ... there are just ARABS AND ARABIC ... even the Ancient Canaanites were ANCIENT ARABS who spoke a different DIALECT of Arabic called ANCIENT CANAANITE, an extinct dialect ... which means the ancient so-called "hebrews" too were ARABS who spoke a different DIALECT of Arabic, called "hebrew" , the ONE AND ONLY Arabic dialect that has survived since 2000 BC or 4,000 years!! 

The ROOT LANGUAGE of all Middle-Eastern DIALECTS is ARABIC. 

CLASSICAL ARABIC, since the era of the Prophet Muhammad, that is 1450 years ago, is spoken today by around 500 million people. It is the most widely spoken of all Arabic dialects. 

Let me REPEAT ... there are no MYTHICAL SO-CALLED "SEMITES" descended from.a mythical SEM / SHRM ... there are no so-called, "true Semites" either ... the NATIVE PEOPLE of the Middle-East have ALWAYS BEEN ARABS for at least 4,000 years, going back to 2000 BC. The so-called "jews" (I call them KIKELS meaning ZERO) are actually ARABS who speak a different DIALECT of Arabic, called "hebrew". They are ARABS. PERIOD.
