There is no such thing as semitic people.Totally and completely WRONG.
The Arabs came from Africa over 15,000 years ago, but then after Africa, when FIRST to the Levant.
The Canaanites, Akkadians, Urites, Amorites, Edomites, Phoenicians, Philistine, Hebrew, etc., are ALL Arabs.
The Arabs on the Arabian Peninsula came from the Levant, LATER.
And Jews did NOT at all come from Judea.
We do not know where Jews came from because they were called Hebrew until they invaded Jerusalem around 1000 BC.
They are not native.
They may have come from Egypt, but there is no history of them at all before Egypt.
Jews only stayed in Judea for less than 250 years.
As evil invaders, they were forced out by the Assyrians, the Babylonians, Romans, Crusaders, etc.
No one liked them, due to their sins of arrogance and pride.
The only reason Jews are called Semitic or have any connection to the Mideast at all is because the ancient Hebrew originally were Arab.
The word "Semitic" means "of an Arab language group".
It does not mean Jewish.
Semitic refers to languages:
Semitic languages occur in written form from a very early historical date in West Asia, with East Semitic Akkadian and Eblaite texts (written in a script adapted from Sumerian cuneiform) appearing from the 30th century BCE and the 25th century BCE in Mesopotamia and the north eastern Levant respectively. The only earlier attested languages are Sumerian, Elamite (2800 BCE to 550 BCE), both language isolates, and Egyptian. Amorite appeared in Mesopotamia and the northern Levant circa 2000 BC, followed by the mutually intelligible Canaanite languages (including Hebrew, Phoenician, Moabite, Edomite and Ammonite, and perhaps Ekronite, Amalekite and Sutean), the still spoken Aramaic, and Ugaritic during the 2nd millennium BC.
