As it happens, they and the Canaanites were both Semitic peoples. In this particular point it's probably inaccurate to consider Canaanites and Hebrews as separate people at all. The Exodus from Egypt is both largely mythological and, one might note, was probably freed slaves returning home instead of seeking new lands.

The Semitic groups (which includes Arabs) are basically everyone not Persian or Turk in southwest Asia.

Because Arabs came there only in 600year a.c. While Israely were there from 10 000 b.c. Along with other tribes, but not Arabs. But then Arabs made up Muslim and started claiming everything and being cry babis if not allowed.
