Dr. Israel Wolfenson, a Jewish scholar, said that the historical links that tied the Hebrews to the Canaanites were dissolved after the children of Israel moved away from the Arabian peninsula, which was a shared land for all Hebrew and Canaanite nations. That is why the Hebrews now consider the Canaanites the descendants of Ham, and not of Shem. This shows that since antiquity, Israel has been trying to construct historical events according to their own interests.
