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.

The Arabs came long after the Jews. I find it interesting that they choose to call themselves by a name that celebrates a European invasion.

And who ever said that the Jews are/were Canaanites?

But more specifically the Canaanites were destroyed according to G-d's will for their evil(idol worship, child sacrifice,etc).
The land was ultimately bequeathed to G-d's chosen people the Israelites, if they would follow His Law.
