        Wait, so the record is right there in their blood right? And it proves the land/ground/soil is theirs right? The blood is their right to the soil… Blood and soil? Where have I heard that one before?

        The land isn’t yours, it belongs to the Canaanites. What’s with this Israeli colonialism on Canaanite land?

          Biblical history isn’t that great; the Torah was first written during the Babylonian captivity, and is generally agreed to have been composed from 600-300 BCE based off earlier oral traditions. Moses is generally placed ~1300 BCE - hundreds and hundreds of years before the first written Torah.

          Archeologically, there’s basically no evidence that supports the Exodus. Like any oral tradition passed down for the better part of a millennium, things got mythologized and expanded on.

          Based off both archeology and genetics, Israelites, Phoenicians, Moabites, etc. are considered Canaanites. It’s more of a broad linguistic and ethnic category than a specific kingdom.
