This was pre-WWI. Not sure how anti-semitism compared in Germany and France during this era, but there was plenty of anti-semitism in France as demonstrated by the riots during the Dreyfus Affair.

Saladin was a remarkably lucky general in that he had the resources.

He was a bad strategist, poor tactician and awful at managing logistics.
