I appreciate bringing facts into discussion, but it would help if you got facts straight. Canaanites is an umbrella term for indigenous peoples of what is now Palestine, and Israelites were one of those. Still, your claim that Canaanites are indigenous to Palestine is correct, but it proves Israel's point. Babylon is from a different place altogether. And the point that Israelites are indigenous to Palestine is not religious based.
