The Crusades were a series of military campaigns organised by Christian powers in order to retake Jerusalem and the Holy Land back from Muslim control. There would be eight officially sanctioned crusades between 1095 CE and 1270 CE and many more unofficial ones.

The Gaza war has the support of and essentially prosecuted by the west led by the US.

At this point in history, the Christian west is eminently powerful controlling two-thirds of world economy. Replete with US military dominance, the entire region - from Morrocco, in North Africa, to Pakistan, in West Asia - can be wrested from Islamic jurisdiction.

@sree251 The global oil trade has been predominantly conducted in U.S. dollars (USD), creating a symbiosis between America's currency and the world's most traded commodity. The petro-dollar has been a cornerstone of U.S. economic dominance for decades. However, recent geopolitical shifts and the rise of alternative payment systems being initiated by Russia and China have tried to challenge this long-standing model.
