So neither the Canaanites nor the Philistines were Jewish and Gaza isn't historically Jewish land then?

Jewish people are Canaanites. Things about them have evolved over time - language, culture, etc - so they don’t call themselves that today. But they still share lots of commonalities with ancient Canaanites. And also they’re literally descendants of the Canaanites since Israelites were directly from the Canaanite population.
