Urban II understood the murderous nature of so-called xtian warlords far better than you do.
He went hunting around for a convenient target they could kill....and of course, on the way they warmed up on the jews.
He also promised them
""All who die by the way, whether by land or by sea, or in battle against the pagans, shall have immediate remission of sins. This I grant them through the power of God with which I am invested."
"Let those who for a long time, have been robbers, now become knights. Let those who have been fighting against their brothers and relatives now fight in a proper way against the barbarians. Let those who have been serving as mercenaries for small pay now obtain the eternal reward. "
You probably accept such blithering nonsense too.
