The Israel Debate: Who has a right to the land of Palestine? Is it the Jews? Is it the Muslim Palestinians? No! The rightful owner of Palestine should be European Catholics, and this land should be called the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The Jews lost their right to Israel when they killed Our Lord. The Muslims are heathens and have no holy claim to the land. That goes for Syria as well, which should be called the Principality of Antioch, and Lebanon should be the County of Tripoli. These were the Crusader States that our holy ancestors fought and died to secure for Christendom. Unfortunately they were lost to Islamic forces. I urge the Holy Father to declare a Tenth Crusade, and all of Christendom must answer the call to help restore these lands as Christian Kingdoms.

What really happens is one of the Sedevacantist weirdos who says they're the real Pope calls a crusade, which is immediately answered by a few insane people from Europe and some fat rednecks for America, who meet up in some city for "passage to the Holy Land", and are promptly arrested for violation of the Neutrality Act or some equivalent of it. Basically Operation Red Dog with Catholic nutjobs instead of white supremacists.
Shit, I kinda wish that would happen, because I'd be laughing my ass for weeks plus you'd take a few crazies off the streets.
"The rightful owner of Palestine should be European Catholics, and this land should be called the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The Jews lost their right to Israel when they killed Our Lord."
Er... it was the Romans who killed Jesus. So by your logic the Roman Catholics should have no rights over that land.
Your Lord was Jewish, dearie.
The Muslims say that you're the heathens and have no holy claim to the land.
Yeah, because what the Middle East needs is MORE infighting and struggles.
I have a really good game for you:

Stabbing the schismatics in the back in 1204 propably didn't helped the things.

Especially if we send them in the "Principality of Antioch" against ISIS.

Sorry, our fat rednecks won't be able to make it because they're all currently holed up in Oregon.
Actually, I have a better solution:
1. Disregard all religious claims to an alleged "right" to land.
2. Make an Israel and a Palestine, using the United Nations' 1967 borders, based on the notion that every ethnicity should have its own state.

For now, I'm content with lurking the Paradox Official Forums, awaiting to have the means and the time to buy and play CKII, Victoria 2 and Europa Universalis, among other Paradox games.

At least, the act of praying provides some sort of benefits to the subject, unlike a Tenth Crusade.
EDIT:

The Fourth Crusade is my favorite. You know, the one in which the Crusaders took the scenic route in order to sack Constantinople, which was Christian. Because why the hell not, plus loot.
Arab nations held the area for over a thousand years and were outpowered by the western worlds war machine not long ago.
Israel was NEVER a Christian Kingdom, Christianity is the Johnny come lately insult over there, everywhere really.
Sure, ignore the nuances and moral and political ambiguity of the Palestine/Israel conflict and just have the Catholics kick both of them out. At least the people who think Israel is 100% innocent of any wrongdoings ever and Palestine is Satan incarnate are working within the proper context of the problem.
Your solution is like saying, "how do we eliminate racial tensions between blacks and whites? Easy, just have the Asians kill them all!" It's idiotic.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
