The neo crusader kingdom?

• graemep 1y ago
  There is no similarity at all between Israel and the crusader kingdoms: different historical circumstances, different aims.

    Some guys àrrived in the middle of that land and beat the hell of others and built a kingdom. Sort of the same.

      That is a mischaracterise of the crusades, at least with regard to the crusaders. The crusades were a reaction to the Arab and Turkish Empires, which by then (between them) invaded at some point (and mostly conquered) Spain, France, southern Italy, most of the Mediterranean, North Africa, Italy, Anatolia, and the Levant, and more. I had not noticed the Palestinians aggressive expansionist empire.
