And Jews that converted to Christianity under the Romans/Byzantines and then converted to Islam. Israel focuses on calling them Arabs to imply they migrated from the Arabian peninsula but that's not what happened. They were arabized by Arabian rulers that migrated. It's not like the berbers ceased to exist, but somehow Israel wants us to think the levant was mystically empty.

That's all it is, we don't call the Europeans Romans and it's the same with the middle east, did Arabs migrate around the world and we share some genetics with them? Sure but in reality it's in the minority apart of the vast diversity of the genetics of one of the most diverse and ancient regions on the planet. My father used to tell me our ancestors were all Arabs who conquered into sindh and Punjab and settled there, which may or may not be true but in reality when I checked, it was below %5, my ancestors weren't just Arabs, my ancestors were also Hindus, Sikhs, Jain's, Zoroastrians, perhaps some Hellenism in there too along with many many many other cultures and religions, which is like a mosaic. Our eyes should be opened now that the western media and imperialism never died in ww1 or ww2 but in reality just changed forms. Do your own research, find primary sources and dig deep. Don't become a nuthead type conspiracy theory but there is a lot of information and misinformation out there so critical analysis of information is one of the most vital skills you can have now

It was socially important to claim descent from the Arabs, so many overstated it and it became part of their family story regardless of the truth. The Turks/Mongols didn't do this mind, they viewed themselves as equals to Arab conquerors.
