Is there a "who was there first" ancient law running around.

Judaism has been around for some 5000 years. Christianity, around 2000. Muslim religion, around 1400. When you actually consider the similarities between all three of them, it's nearly shocking that there has been and continues to be so much violence between them. I mean, it's not like we're talking about some belief as different as Hinduism.
Before Jews came to Palestine, it was ruled in various degrees at various times by Caananites, Philistines, Egyptians, Babylonians and probably a half dozen other groups.
If there is a "who was there first" law running around, maybe we should let the Native American's know.
