from Genesis 4:12-15 (from Daily Scriptures and reflections last 16Feb.'09):
[SIZE=2]12 You shall become a restless wanderer on the earth.” 13 Cain said to the LORD: “My punishment is too great to bear. 14 Since you have now banished me from the soil, and I must avoid your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, anyone may kill me at sight.” 15 “Not so!” the LORD said to him. “If anyone kills Cain, Cain shall be avenged sevenfold.”[/SIZE]He (Author Matt Rees) explains that Cain, who felt wronged by God, answered with a new wrong, murder. As he traveled around Israel and looked more closely at different readings of the text, he began to see the story differently than he had as a child, where Cain was seen as simply evil. Instead, he empathizes with Cain's simple humanity and sees divine injustice. But, as he points out, people on each side, both Palestinians and Israelis, see themselves as Abel, having been wronged by their brother, Cain.

During the Crusades, Jerusalem was under the rule of Muslims. But, the Jews had access to the city and generally was at peace with the Muslims.
Then the Crusades started. It was Crusaders aka Christians who massacred every single one of them after capturing the city................
