I don't know much about the Kingdom of Jerusalem per se, but even today many Jews say prayers specifically written after the Crusades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhineland_massacres So the symbols of "hope and triumph of establishing Christianity in the Holy Land" do not evoke particularly positive connotations, even aside from the usual modern opposition to that particular mission.
