The least black Arabs are from Sham : Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan.

Well, those aren't really Arabs at all. Arabs are Bedouins from what is now Saudi Arabia. Syrians are descendents of primarily Arameans (Ben-Hadad), mixed with Assyrians, Canaanites(aka Phoenicians) blood with traces of GReek, Persian, Turkic and Frank/Germanic blood. While Lebanese are Phoenicians (i.e. Canaanites) with some Greek and French/Frank blood. Jordanians are Moabites, Ammonites, other Canaanites and will have Israelite blood mixed with pure Arab blood. Palestinians are a mixture from a number of countries in the M-E

If Arabic is your native language, you’re an Arab. The distiction between Arabs & Arabized are used by anthropologists & historians & almost all Sham Arabs refer to themselves as Arabs except for Maronites, Syriacs, & Assyrians. One exception is one Palestinian I met who did not wish to be called an Arab.
