How accurate are these claims (Hannibal, Phoenicians, and race) xpost from /r/anthropology

I saw this video being shared this morning on the facebook, and I wanted to ask if anyone had any reliable information for either side of this argument. I don't have a side or angle on the subject, I'm just interested in separating 'spin' from truth. Perhaps it's not meaningful to think of cultural history in the objective terms of 'race', since it is a somewhat modern concept. However this video is seriously dividing my friends - who, by the way, are not particularly knowledgeable or interested in the history of peoples of the earth or anthropology.

Hi there!

Could you sum up the clams made in the video and edit them in your description text? Some people here answer stuff from work and may not be able to view it.

Thank you!
