The Israelites were commanded to take Canaan (Israel) from the Canaanites (Deuteronomy ch.7), but they did so incompletely, allowing Canaanites to remain in various regions (Judges ch.1-2).

Caleb
They didn't. They established themselves in Israel. The country was only renamed Palestine by the Romans AFTER the Hebrews were kicked out.Tradition says they established themselves in Israel by Abraham, around 2000 BCE. Later, they return to Israel and had to battle the Canaanites, who moved in after them.Modern scholarship suggests that they actually WERE the Canaanites.
The Canaanites came upon the land of Israel and co-habitated with the Israelites in a normal manor.They did have some fierce fighting from time to time,but no killings ever occurred. The Canaanites stayed until the Israelites realized that they were losing their religion know to them as the God of Exodus,to the Canaanites god of fertility Ba'al.They had been specificily warned about Not worshipping this false god of fertility Ba'al,By their own God of Exodus.The original message given to the Israelites seemed to imply that the Canaanites should be killed to avoid this problem.Later they realized what they should have done.They eventually decided to,and were able to rid themselves of the Canaanites and their gods.....
AnswerThe first people we really know about, in what is now Israel, were the West Semitic people known in the Old Testament as Canaanites.
The Jewish people are living very nicely in Israel, and will continue to do so. They have made their nation into a beautiful country. Their only problem is the surrounding Arab countries that are jealous of what Israel has become and want to destroy them.
Biblical Canaan is now Israel because God gave them the land. The Canaanites and Israelites melded together to form one nation.

AnswerThe apparent size of the Promised Land differs in various parts of the Bbile. However, if the Promised Land was the land of the Canaanites, then modern Israel is much larger. For example, the Canaanites did not occupy the Negev Desert, from which Exodus says the Israelites travelled on their way to the Promised Land. Nor did the land of the Canaanites include Philistia - the coastal strip and foothills north from the Egyptian border to approximately where Tel Aviv is today.Ancient Israel and Judah actually occupied a quite small area, based on the mountainous hinterland and the Jezreel Valley.
The Canaanites, Hittites, Emorites, Perrizites, and Girgashites all occupied parts of the area when the children of Israel returned after their two centuries of bondage in Egypt. Those were displaced relatively quickly, and there has been a continuous Jewish presence in that land since then, regardless of which colonial empire may have ruled it at any given time.
