Jewish people grew out of the Canaanites (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaan) who occupied the region before the Philistines, who migrated there (Greek origin). There’s a lot of religious and cultural stuff that carried over from Canaanites to Israelites (and later to “modern” Jews).

- SilverElfin 1y agoJewish people are Canaanites. Things about them have evolved over time - language, culture, etc - so they don’t call themselves that today. But they still share lots of commonalities with ancient Canaanites. And also they’re literally descendants of the Canaanites since Israelites were directly from the Canaanite population.
