Lebanese are very mixed and Palestinians in a way but some Palestinians have strong Arabic roots some are mixed.
I know my Moms Moms moms stepmom was turkish, my dad's moms family was always originating from levant, my dad's dad had a little Egyptian but largely mixed and my moms dad had a little Yemeni but rest was mixed.
But basically all of them are fellow Semitic people and that's all that matters. Even the Druze trace their ancestry to Yemen through the Christian Arab Lakhmid Kingdom in Iraq who originally came from Yemen. The leading Druze family in Lebanon as well and genetic tests prove their closeness. Besides Arabism is strong in Lebanon and not all Lebanese are Arabs. Many non-Arabs live in Lebanon and have done it for years.
For instance Christian Arabs tend to be more nationalistic than the Muslims of our region. Hence many leading Arab nationalists were Christian Arabs.
