I am currently reading the Old Testament. When Joshua came to to take the lands for God's People, God did not like the Canaanites for they were evil to the Lord and He wanted them to be permanently removed from the earth.
The Canaanites worshipped Baal, sacrificed their children to him and brought other gods instead of worshipping God the Father. He wanted the Jewish people to wipe them all out. (men, women, and children) But the Jewish people did not do so in all their land. Thus, they did not do what God had commanded them to do.
By not killing all the Cannaittes when the Jews initially colonized Israel with their 12 tribes, they condemned themselves in their future.. they were forbidden by their Jewish priests to marry the Canaanites but they still did it (including some of their Kings) and then many of the Jews took up the idol worship. God allowed them the Jews to be destroyed enumerous times for taking up idols.
God allowed them the Jews to be destroyed enumerous [sic] times for taking up idols.
....and this has continued, even to present day. They are the only race of people that have been forcibly removed from Kingdoms and Countries hundreds of times over hundreds of years for their practices of idolatry, child sacrifice, Immorality, and a host of other evils that plague a society.
The ONLY ones ever in the History of the world since God's judgement. Astonishing once you dive down that rabbit hole, but gives a massive understanding of why.

Not Jews. Israelites.
