RE: A VERY dark theory about Israel...Are useful idiots helping in the final solution?

.... from a purely philosophical logical reality ....
....there are _no_indigenous rights, just as there are no human rights... there are only property rights.

What's the oldest reported purchase of land in human history?

Property rights start with person owning themselves, and works out from there. (then they own their labor and so forth..)

Not relevant to the philosophical question of property rights but...
The Sumerians - as far as I'm aware.
The priests were the landowners predominantly.
4,000 -3000 BC
(a long while before the arrival of the Jewish contingent in that area.)

I presume you asked it knowing thinking the answer would be 'a Jewish one'...?

I would be interested to be proved wrong but I’ve not been able to find this myself or by asking knowledgable people however the oldest properly documented actual record of a sale of property including details of negotiations and prices is the purchase of a cave in Hebron by Abraham for the burial of his wife.

Please find me an earlier detailed record of sale (not just statement that people owned land) because I too have trouble believing this is the first.

Certainly, for Jews, the story of coming out of slavery in Egypt is a huge part of our identity as moving from slavery to freedom. I also believe this concept came out of Judaism and into the west via Christianity.

...you don't need a record of sale to own property. lol

Do you have a record of sale to prove you own yourself?

You misunderstand the l concept of property, if so..
