That's not true, Northern Arabic is in the same family as Aramaic languages. What you are referring to you is South Arabian, which was only spoken in certain areas of the Arabian peninsula and yes it belonged to a different from of Semitic languages being Southern Semitic. Not to mention that Arabian tribes were always present in the Levant since antiquity. Also many of these Arabian tribes settled in the Levant, before even Islam appeared. I can give you their names, some of them are the Midianite, Kedarite, Nabatean, Tankhuids, the Kalb, and the Tayyids. This not mention that the Arabian Ghassanids have moved into the Levant, due to Ethiopian raids. There the Ghassanids originally place themselves into the region and then convert to Christianity and become vassal to the Byzantines. Also many of the tribes in Jordan and Syria especially in the Desert frontiers were pagan and often had conflict with the Christian Levantine both Arab/non-Arab and the Byzantines, and hence why they willingly converted and joined the Arabian forces. The Southern Levant was very close to Arabia. Jordan was always inhabited by Arabian Bedouin tribes for example.
You know what I say to them, We won get over it, just like Whites say it to the Amerindians in Americas and Aborgines in Australia. Unlike the Whites we had equal level of weapons to the Byzantines, unlike the Whites who had an advantage due to more advanced weapons.
