@arturferrao7353 The Canaanites preceded the Israelites in the land, and it was named Canaan followed by Israel, and later Judea. Philistia was a separate territory from Canaan, the narrow coastal strip of land where Gaza is today, and not the whole territory of Canaan, which is why I asked why it is named by non-Jews after the non-Semitic Philistines if the Semitic Israelites conquered the land and largely vanquished its inhabitants such as the accounts in the Hebrew Bible inform us. ?
The Jews were prohibited from intermarrying with the pagan peoples around them, so they had a taboo about this, even if the Philistines didn't as your magazine states. Whether the Semitic Arabs married Philistines or Canaanites is a matter for conjecture, but we know in the Biblical era that the Arabs, Edomites and Ammonites were largely concentrated in the deserts of Arabia, whilst the Twelve Tribes of Israel were given the land of the Bible by God as their Promised Land.
At least that is what it says in the Holy Bible which is used by Courts of Law across the globe to swear upon as a symbol of truth. So do you think the Semitic Arabs are mixed blood with the Philistines, Cannanites or even both? I think there is less chance of the Israelites doing so, even though it is the Jews whom conspiratists claim are not a pure bloodline, yet they never question the purity of the Arabs' blood. Reality: Canaan & Israel was never called "Palestine" in the Bible.
