This is like my North African thread here that was just so popular except this time I am making it clear what I mean so as to alleviate confusion.

Due to the Crusades it is possible there is some European ancestry amongst the Lebanese. And also Lebanese (well, Phoenician) ancestry along the Mediterranean due to the ancient Phoenician colonies established there.

Southern Spanish and French (Corsica) maybe. It's really hard to say as many European countries are already diverse.

I could have included Syria and Palestine alongside Lebanon on this poll but Lebanese are probably the most well-known of those groups to people, in terms of looks at least.
