The canaanites were Allah’s buddies or some such nonsense.

Though fitting for cannibals, and various forms of human sacrifice.

Yeah, one of the interesting things about the bible, is that the commands about morality--sexual and otherwise--are directly responsive to the way the Canaanites routinely lived.

So all you have to do is think about what Judeo/Christian morality is (no adultery, no incest, no homosexuality, no bestiality, no idols, no human sacrifices, etc.) and the opposite is exactly the way the Canaanites were...

Baal and Asherah, for example the two most popular Canaanite gods, were full brother and sister...AND husband and wife...

An archeologist I knew had a dig in a Canaanite burial ground...for infants given in human sacrifices... Full of pots with tiny charred bones within. Was used for 400 years and had over 100,000 burials there.

Definitely a disgusting culture. No one should wonder why God commanded the Hebrews to wipe them out.
