I have told you you could pass as a Kurd, Arab, Armenian, Azeri, Assyrian, Iranian or maybe even as an Afghan or a Northern Pakistani. I don't think you look North African.
Your phenotype is very vague especially when someone sees your photo for the first time and is not familiar with you, but you can pass as any of the ethnicities that were mentioned.
Arabs probably think you are Iranian or Assyrian. You shouldn't worry about what others think of you, just be happy with yourself and the way you look (No one is better than others just based on which group he/she belongs to).
Kurds have more lighter types. I have seen quite a few Iranian Azeris, they looked darker than all the Kurds that I have seen.
I have only met one person from the Republic of Azerbaijan and he was quite dark, much darker than any Kurd that I have seen..
If you know how his father looks and he looks like his dad then O.K he looks Assyrian.
I didn't say he does not look Assyrian, I just questioned how he knew since the person is mixed and could have looked as either side.
Just because Maltese language has some Semitic influence does not make their race Semite. They are as Europeans as all other Southern Europeans.
You need to separate language from DNA and ethnic origin.
I don't know if Assyrians overlap with Kurds or not, but you are absolutely absurd to claim that Assyrians look anything like Palestinians.
Even Palestinian Christians do not look like Assyrians so for sure Palestinian Moslem do not resemble Assyrians either.
Palestinians are south Levantines...
