I just scanned the postg, but I didn’t see any mention of the crusaders destroying any Jewish communities they encountered on the way to the Holy Land.

Also, in the wars of conguest and reconquest, nobosy offered to restore the Holy Land to its original owners.

Hmmmm, let's see. I guess you are referring to the Canaanites as they were living in Canaan when Joshua and the Israelites invaded the land, and it subsequently was divided up among the tribes of Israel. I doubt there would have been any need for a Crusade had the Jews (Israelites) been governing the Holy Land. The problem is Islam, not Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion outside of Islam.

It’s true, the article does not address the atrocities against the Jews during the Crusades. Sadly, the article talks about this but as a different aspect.... Indefensibly, the Jews were “massacred by out-of-control troops. This was apparently an act of indiscipline... To imply—or plainly state—that this was an act desired by the entire crusader force, or that it was integral to crusading, is misleading at best.”

That is because, in the Holy Land, the first village destroyed was a Paulician village of heretics.
