It's also the thing that people who call themselves Arabs now, i.e. in Syrian Arab Republic and Egyptian Arab Republic, are mostly descendants of the native peoples, they just choose a pan-Arabic identity, retroactively becoming Arabs even if their ancestors lived in Levant or North Africa and never the Arabian peninsula. So, most Syrians or Egyptians nowadays call themselves Arabs, while being, well, Syrian or Egyptian. Same with Nabatea, which is basically Jordan and Sinai, too. It's worse in North Africa where countries like Tunisia, Libya, Algeria and Morocco are Arabs on paper, but are all Africans with not a part of their lands in Asia. Kinda the same with Balkan peoples and Bulgars calling themselves Slavic. It's a extra-national identity over genetic ethnicity.
