So really the land should be their descendents. Later a militarily powerful group known as Philistines migrated into the Canaanite land, and it's their name that is thought to have evolved into "Palestine." Then came in another group, descendants of a man named "Eber," whose name meant "the other side." These were the Hebrews arriving from "the other side" of the Euphrates into Canaan. Their patriarch was Abraham.Canaanite culture was dominant in the Southern Levant during the Bronze Age (3,500-1,200 B.C.E.) As Iron Age I began, the Canaanite city-states faded. The Israelites self-identified as a separate group. This is what the historians think. Modern DNA studies using old burial sites (DNA from the bones) conclusively prove that both Jews & Arabs in these areas have a common ancestry to the ancient Canaanites.PS: Finding out what happened in the past doesn't help to solve the current conflict. It wasn't solved for the last 70 odd years. Every party including the Arab nations around has to take the blame. The issue isn't wholly territorial either... religion has a part to play as well. Meanwhile it's the innocent people both Jews and Palestinians end up suffering with no resolution in sight other than killing each other. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
