To portray themselves as indigenous, Arab settlers adopted the name of an ancient Canaanite tribe, the Phillistines, that died out almost 3000 years ago.

The Philistines were not Canaanite. They came from Greece. They were European invaders.

The Jews were not Canaanites, they were intruders from what is now Iraq coming after the Philistines.
