The article references Levantine Shia as “Arab Shitte”. Shias from the Levant are Levantine Shia and should be referred to as this. They are from the Levant. Lebanesebebe123 (talk) 04:13, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You think that only Arabian tribes are Arabs, but that is a fringe position. The great majority of modern sources refer to the Shi'ites of southern Lebanon as Arabs. This is also the position of Hezbollah. As for origins, nobody knows for sure but an account of descent from Arab tribes from Yemen is widespread. Zerotalk 05:47, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Genetic studies that Shia Levantines are mostly Canaanites genetically. 2. They are from the Levant so by default they are Levantine Shias/ you are following me from article to article and that’s kind of weird. You and I were discussing something on an entirely different article. If you are going to make the claim that they are in fact Arabs and not Levantine you are going to have to post proof of that. Otherwise they will be labeled after where they are from- Levant and Levantine. Lebanesebebe123 (talk) 15:08, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When someone is from Europe we call them European, when someone is from Latin America we call them Latino, and so on. These people were from the Levant, by default they are Levantine Arabs. I didn’t bring up Hezbollah or speak of Hezbollah. These people existed and lived in a time before Hezbollah. Please set your bias aside. Also Hezbollah is not a genetic or historical authority.
An account from Yemeni descent is based on tall tales/myth that has not been substantiated, there is no genetic basis for it and that has been proven. Lebanesebebe123 (talk) 15:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To call them Levantine Shias is not incorrect. To call them simply Shia Arabs is incorrect. They were from the Levant. If you are going to omit that then you are obviously just pushing your own bias as evidenced by your mention of Hezbollah. What does Hezbollah have to do with genetic origin and location. These men were from the Levant. They weren’t Bedouins. Lebanesebebe123 (talk) 15:13, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
