First of all we need to say what we mean by Arabs. According to Maxine Rodinson (The Arabs), the modern definition is simply one who identifies as an Arab. Thus, most Berbers (but not all) of North Africa now identify as Arabs and therefore are Arabs. Egyptians similarly identify as Arabs. More specifically, Arabs are a semitic race, originating from and near the Arabian peninsula of the Middle East. The Nabataeans were an Arabic nation that occupied parts of Jordan and southern Palestine in late biblical times The Palestinians identify as Arabs, although they are probably of mixed Canaanite, Philistine, Nabataean and peninsula Arab ancestry.
