Cana'anite DNA

Sorry, by Lebanese I mean only Christian Lebanese, they were the ones in the study because Druze and Muslim Lebanese are known to have recent admixture.

Out of the 99 modern Lebanese in the study, Muslims/Druzes are the majority and Muslims alone the plurality. Christians also have recent admixture, Armenian ancestry is widespread among Maronites for instance.

Isn't only druzes that claims origins in Yemen...

Right. Most Levantine Arab Christians claim their roots back to Yemen. Basically everyone in the Levant does actually lol

"Levantine Arab Christians" and "Levantine Arab Jews" do not exist except in the mind of Arab nationalists. Real Arab Christians were decimated in Arabia or became Muslims.

Under Figure 7 you can read:

"We chose Lebanese_Christian to represent present-day Lebanese in this test as this population has been shown to be relatively isolated and had no significant admixture in recent times with neighbouring populations. In this and following figures we plot the f4 statistic value and ±3 standard errors."

According your criterion all arabs are extinct, after they mixed with a lot of circassian, balkanics, tatar, blacks, indo-malaio, etc.

Ironically, it's the Christians of the Levant that invented Arab nationalism or Baathism in the first place, lol. Jews are an ethno-religious group, and they're certainly aren't Arabs regardless that the Jews that used to live in the Arab world spoke Arabic as their first language. There are some Bedouins in Jordan that are still adhering to the Christian faith today though.

I know some Iraqi Jews who identify as "Arab Jews" for some reason. I never understood it.

Are Lebanese christians Anatolian mix?

Either because they're sympathetic to the Arabs or they simply adhere to the local culture of Iraq which is Arabic.
