You realize Phoenicia and Israel are neighbors and two very small countries? The distance from Tel Aviv to Beirut is only 200Km. They are practically the same people except at some point in history they diverged in religion and became hostile to one another. Maybe if they kept sacrificing their children then... okay, I'll see myself out.

There have been genetically and culturally distinct populations that maintained their segregation over far smaller distances than this.

Guys the Ashkenazim maintained about 90% genetic isolation for about 1,000 years and they literally lived in cities a couple dozen meters from other Europeans. I'm not wrong.

One was a global trade empire with colonies across the Mediterranean as far as present-day Gibraltar. The other was a desert backwater. The Temple of Solomon was built by the Tyrian king Hiram, Tyre and Sidon being the major cities of Phoenicia, or Canaan.
