Why did the Israelites live Canaan?
According to The Bible, the Israelites came to live in Canaan because God promised them this land. They conquered the Canaanites, city by city, with bloody violence.According to modern scholars, the early Israelites were really Canaanites themselves, who, for whatever reason, migrated peacefully to the previously sparsely occupied Canaanite hinterland. After a period of centuries, their language and culture diverged from those of their West Semitic neighbours, and the people began to believe that they had always been a separate nation. Scholars now say that there never was a military invasion of the land of the Canaanites.
Why did the Israelites conquer Canaan?
On the biblical account, the Israelites conquered Canaan because they needed land and because God had promised it to them. However, it is reported that over 80 per cent of scholars say that there never was a military conquest of Canaan as described in the Bible. The Israelites were West Semitic people themselves, in effect Canaanites, and had migrated into the Palestinian hinterland towards the end of the thirteenth century BCE.

Was the Israelites' conquest of Canaan too harsh?
1) The Canaanites were exceptionally wicked (Leviticus ch.18, Deuteronomy ch.18). 2) The Israelites fought the Canaanites in battle (Joshua ch.10) with miraculous assistance from God (Exodus ch.23). 3) They warned the Canaanites concerning God's command to take Canaan (Jerusalem Talmud, Shevi'it 6:1), and gave them a chance to leave the land (ibid). The Girgashites took the warning seriously and departed to Africa (ibid.), while the Gibeonites made a treaty with the Israelites (Joshua ch.9). The rest of the Canaanites insisted on fighting, and attacked the Israelites with a massive army (Joshua ch.11). 4) Whenever fighting, the Israelites never completely surrounded any town. They offered conditional peace, and then (if peace was rejected) left one area open for escape so that whoever wanted to flee could do so (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Laws of kings and war ch.6).
