Who captured Mecca and Medina?
I assume you are looking for the answer "Mohammed and the Early Muslims", but Mohammed never declared war on Yethrib (the city which would become Medina). He settled there at the request of the Yethribis to resolve a dispute between two tribes. Mohammed and the Early Muslims did conquer Mecca, though, after difficult battles with Abu Sufyan and other Qoreishi Tribesmen.
In more modern history, both the Ottoman Empire and Saudi Arabia conquered the territory of Hejaz in which Mecca and Medina are located, transferring those cities to those countries in the 1500s and 1920s respectively.

Why was Jerusalem and the holy land so important to both Muslims and Christians?
This is a difficult question to answer, because the reasons for both are so broad! Simply put, however:
Jews - Solomon's Temple was located there with the Ark of the Covenant, as well as substantial Jewish eschatology (doctrine of the end of the world) centering around the area before their ultimate restoration.
Muslims - This is where the Prophet Muhammad ascended into heaven, as well as a necessary location for the Muslim eschatological prophecy of world domination through Jihad.
Christians - Christianity is built off of the B.C. Jewish faith, so there is a lot of similarity between the two in reference to their reverence of the Jerusalem/Holy Land location. In addition to Jewish reason, it is where Jesus Christ, the Messiah, did much of His ministry. Israel, in particular, is important to Christians because it is where almost all of Jesus' ministry and life took place, as well as His ascension from the Mount of Olives.

Answer 2
The typical Pro-Palestinian view centers on the idea that Israel is a modern colony in the Middle East (as opposed to a return of a people to their lost homeland). In the narrative, prior to 1900, less than 10% of the population of what would become Mandatory Palestine was Jewish and the Fellahin or Settled Arabs were the majority. There were also a large percentage of Turks, Circassians, Bedouin, and Druze, but the Settled Arabs were still the majority. Zionist Jews or those Jews who desired to create a Jewish State cleverly manipulated the Great Powers, especially the United Kingdom into giving them the right to immigrate to Mandatory Palestine in large numbers without consulting the rights of the Fellahin. Additionally, Zionist Jews purchased large swaths of land from Turkish nobility without consulting the Fellahin who lived on that land for centuries but did not properly own it. As a result, numerous Fellahin were forced off of their land during the Yishuv period, Yishuv being the word for a Zionist Jewish settlement in Mandatory Palestine. The Jewish population in Palestine continued to rise until 1939 when the Fellahin successfully petitioned the British government to close off Jewish immigration. The Fellahin, who now identify as the Palestinians, have a right to that country based on this history.
However, Islam fundamentally opposes this view. Israel is a unique case and the Qur'an actually says that Allah is behind the creation of Israel. These views are established in 5:20-21 where Allah commands Moses to take the Holy Land for his people, in 17:104 where Allah claims responsibility for gathering the Jews to Israel, and 26:59 where the Qur'an gives the Land of Israel to Jews as inheritance. There is no point in the Qur'an that even alludes to Muslim control or right to rule any place in the Levant region. Unfortunately, as many Muslims would like to advocate the argument in the first paragraph of this answer, they conveniently ignore what their own book says.
20And, when Moses said to his people, "O my people, remember the favor of Allah upon you when He appointed among you prophets and made you possessors and gave you that which He had not given anyone among the worlds. 21O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you and do not turn back [from fighting in Allah 's cause] and [thus] become losers."
AND
104And We said after Pharaoh to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering."
AND
59Thus. And We caused to inherit it [the land] the Children of Israel.
