Extermination of Canaanites

[Pat Mustard]

There was no extermination jews=Canaanites. The jewish tribes were a small, weak and insignificant part of the larger Canaanite cultural grouping (which included many semitic and arabic tribes). So in order to make themselves look bigger and more impressive their leaders invented a mythology where the jews were ubermenschen who came to dominate the untermenschen others around them through their greatness and their god (who started off as a very minor Canaanite war god).
