@uriel7203 Fun fact: Palestinians have Canaanite DNA. They're Arab and Muslim the same way indigenous peoples of Central America are now Hispanic and Catholic.
It was the Egyptians that named the Peleset. Egypt ruled over Canaan, and the Sea Peoples, including the Peleset, pushed them out of Canaan. While invaders to Egypt, they were liberators of Canaan. They then settled, and merged with the local Canaanite population. They did not ethnically cleanse or genocide them. Then Philistia, Israel, and Judah emerged, in the power vacuum. There would never have been an Israel, if not for the Sea People "invaders", because they also crushed the Hittites, who were pushing South to try and rule over the region. All, or part, of the region has been called some variation of Palestine, ever since.
