Yes - the sequences are similar because the sequence was borrowed with the alphabet. No one is questioning the borrowing of the alphabet. But sharing an alphabet does not make two languages 'cognate' - at least, not as that term is usually used.

*languages* being cognate. As far back as there is reliable evidence, Greek
and Hebrew are not cognate languages. In terms of language, if there was a
'proto-Canaanite', then it is the mother of Hebrew, Phoenician, Moabite,
Ammonite, etc, but not of Greek.
