canaanites are known to be later called phoenicians of course, you won't dispute that, and hebrew is considered to be a canaanite language .... these and many other things show close relation The word you're looking for is "Semitic", the language family of the Caananites, the Phoenicians and the Israelites. Archaeologists don't think the Caananites and the Phoenicians are the same; they use the words for different populations in different time periods. The Caananites were earlier and the Phoenicians were later. The Philistines are generally thought to be of Indo-European origin, part of the "sea peoples"/Doric invasions of the Late Bronze age.
