Because they came in as a marauding conquerors pillaging, raping, and killing all inhabitants who defended the land that they have occupied and developed for generations.

Answer

The Hebrews did rape anyone. Torah-law forbids that, and they were at a high level of Torah-observance in Joshua's time.

While they did conquer the land as commanded (Exodus ch.23), tradition teaches that they announced to the Canaanites that any of them who wish to emigrate would be given safe passage, and the Girgashites did just that.
