As an Italian I don't understand why people group us with Spaniards. I feel much closer to my real meds brothers from Syria and Lebanon than to those disgusting WHGoids Iberians.

Reminder the Lebanese literally used the Iberians (who had been vassals for over a millenia) as cannon fodder against the Latins after the Etruscans got merc'd.

Phoenicians weren't Lebanese. They're a now extinct population and they clustered Jews and south Italians and Greeks
They were Euro Levantine mutts, if anything Jews are probably their closest relatives today but not Toufik from Lebanon who is eating dirt to survive
