What if Christians tried and succeeded in making a Christian state in the Holy Land (assuming the Jewish movement of the OTL is not there)? Their motives could be to escape the "growing secularization of Europe and its materialialism," leading to a "get back to our roots movement" by having Christians move there. The Christians get British support in WWI. Christian immigration could increase by persecution of Christianity in the USSR and later the communist block.

Would the history of Israel be the same as OTL? (with obvious excpetions, like a Christmas War instead of the Yom Kippur War). Is this possible? If it is, how would relations between the West and the Islamic world be different, because this Israel really would be a "crusader state"! American evangelical support is gonna be scary in this time line.
