        Zionists are basing their irridentism on the Torah, and from what I’ve read, the Canaanites existed in the area before Abraham was given the land as a promised land.

          Something tells me that the Torah isn’t exactly a reliable historical source.

          The Cannanite - Israelite connection is suggested by modern achaelogical information which I take as a little more reliable.

          Got any sources for that? Since I can’t seem to find anything that supports that claim outside of religious texts
