i think most people don't know the history and just figure it's a normal country we're allied with for the normal sort of reasons

Even less when they wrote it themselves.

Manifest Destiny.

"we took it fair and square" works actually here and there.

As it happens, they and the Canaanites were both Semitic peoples. In this particular point it's probably inaccurate to consider Canaanites and Hebrews as seperate people at all. The Exodus from Egypt is both largely mythological and, one might note, was probably any freed slaves returning home instead of seeking new lands.

The Semitic groups (which includes Arabs) are basically everyone not Persian or Turk in southwest Asia.

Both proto-jews and Arabs inhabited the land currently known as Isreal. It should be noted that the proto-Jews left the lands before actually becoming Jews.

Because Arabs came there only in 600year a.c. While Israely were there from 10 000 b.c. Along with other tribes, but not Arabs. But then Arabs made up Muslim and started claiming everything and being cry babis if not allowed.
