They're no longer a distinct group because your people killed them all bro it's codified in the Bible as a good thing (which it was)
It's hypocritical for Jews to cry about genocide because they're the first people who ever documented & glorified their own acts of genocide
The ones who survived sailed West, conducted maritime trade (their specialty) and founded the city-state of Carthage
You mostly just post Chat GPT AI answers, what's your own opinion on all this
I know my People only completely killed the Amalekies not the Canaanties.
As for your claim here is chat gpt answer
The Canaanites are no longer a distinct group largely due to the complex history of conquest, assimilation, and cultural integration in the ancient Near East. Several factors contributed to the loss of their distinct identity:
1. Conquests and Empire Building: Over centuries, the region of Canaan was conquered and ruled by various empires, including the Egyptians, Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, and later, the Persians, Greeks, and Romans. Each new power brought its own cultural and religious influences, often assimilating or replacing local customs.
2. Intermarriage and Cultural Assimilation: As different peoples settled in or conquered Canaan, intermarriage between Canaanites and other groups became common. Over time, Canaanite language, religion, and traditions blended with those of the Israelites, Phoenicians, and other Semitic groups.
3. Religious Transformation: The rise of monotheistic religions, particularly Judaism, which emerged from the Israelite context, led to a decline in the traditional polytheistic Canaanite religion. As more people converted to Judaism or later Christianity and Islam, Canaanite religious practices and identity faded.
4. Geopolitical Changes: The constant shifting of borders and empires in the region meant that the identity of smaller groups like the Canaanites often became submerged in the larger cultures dominating the area.
These processes of cultural and genetic mixing, along with the lack of a unified Canaanite political or social identity in later history, resulted in their gradual disappearance as a distinct group. Their influence, however, persists in the historical and cultural heritage of the broader Levantine region.
