It is a territorial dispute mostly. There are different factions that believe Jerusalem should "belong" to them, or politically be under their control, because of their history there, both secular and religious. For many of those groups, Jerusalem is a sacred place in their religion. For example, Jerusalem is the 3500 year old spiritual and national center of the Jewish people, where important early Jewish Temples stood, and the religion developed. It is also considered holy land in the Islamic and Christian religions. The land began being called Palestine by the Romans after the destruction of the second Jewish Temple of Jerusalem. There are those, who because of that, believe that the first Palestinians were the Jews, and the land should still be theirs to govern. After that, the early Christian Religion was also centered there, and more and more Christians made pilgrimages to the Holy Land, eventually added to the settlements there, and hold a strong connection with the area, as well. The Islamic religion is just as closely tied to the area as are the Jewish and Christian religions. Political changes were made in the governments in the area after the World Wars that are still disputed and peace talks have, so far, created no agreement or compromise to settle the territorial dispute. As the area grows in population, land becomes more precious in the Holy area, and competition for the resources and land continues to plague the area with fighting and wars.

The Crusaders wore chainmail armor, helmets, and carried shields during their campaigns in the Holy Land. They also wore tunics with the symbol of the cross to identify themselves as Crusaders.
----------------------- Jerusalem was holy to Muslims, as well as to Christians and Jews, so to give up Jerusalem would have meant denying Muslims the opportunity to perform pilgrimages to Jerusalem, since Christian rulers never accepted Muslim rights. Contrary to modern opinion, the Arabic empire was not at that time entirely Muslim, but included a very substantial proportion of Christians and Jews, although the ruling classes were Muslim. Generally, Christians and Jews were permitted to visit Jerusalem without hindrance. To have given up Jerusalem would also have provided the crusading armies a well fortified base from which to attack the Arab empire. Even the cities that remained in Christian hands provided bases for attacks until the Christian armies were finally driven from the Holy Land, but Jerusalem was more easily defended, and would extend the reach of the Christian armies right into the heart of the Arabian empire.
Typically the Holy Land is represented religiously by the Jerusalem Cross. However, if you are referring to politics, all European Countries recognized the State of Israel and some also recognized Palestine.

In the early middle ages Arab Muslims controlled Jerusalem. Many Christians went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem to visit the holy land. The Arab Muslims allowed this until the Turkish Muslims took over. When pilgrims visited the Holy land the Turkish Muslims would beat them, rob them and in some cases murder them. The Christians didn't like this and were told by the pope too go and fight, if Christians fought their sins would be immediately forgiven and if they died the would go straight to heaven and they would also protect their land and people and receive land so the holy war began this was called a crusade. Christians and Muslims fought over the power of Jerusalem and this is how the Christians recieved the name 'The Crusaders'.

There are four holy cities in Judaism. In order of holiness, they are: Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed, and Tiberias, all of which are in either Israel or the West Bank. These cities were considered holy because of their being in the Holy Land, their relatively large Jewish community and their concentration of Torah-scholars.Additionally, the Land of Israel (which is most of Israel and the West Bank) is also considered the holy land in general.There are a number of Jewish Holy Sites even if the entire city is not holy. Some Jewish Holy Sites include the Western Wall in Jerusalem and the entire Old City, the Cave of the Ramban, the "City of David", David's Burial Ground at Mount Zion, the Tomb of Samuel just north of Jerusalem, the city of Hebron and the nearby the Cave of Machpelah, Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, the tombs of Pinehas and the Elders of the Great Assembly at Awarta, and Rachel's tomb outside of Bethlehem.
