The idea that Jews are descended from the Canaanites is a modern rewriting of history by Zionists in an effort to justify their occupation of the land.Same place as the area some people refer to as Palestine. Incidentally, DNA shows that both Jews and Arabs are descendants of the Cananites.
Zionist nationalism like most nationalisms relies on origin myths, Hitler had the Aryan myth to justify treating others as outsiders.
According to the bible the Jews were not indigenous to the region, Abraham and his family were from the land of UR which is in Iraq.
If the Jews were direct descendents of the Canaanites, then that would mean that the Judeo/ Christian religions are based on falsehoods.
No Abraham, no Gods promise and no promised land either.
