To them, at the time, absolutely it was justified. They were told “by god” to kill the infidels and free the holy land.
Your inability to see this just proves that you don’t understand
Just like today, to the Muslims, they are following God’s orders to kill the infidels.
The difference being the modern world has gone through the enlightenment that shows how incorrect that belief path is. The modern world believes that murder in the name of god is wrong. The modern world doesn’t believe or support in mass religious murder.

The goal of the Crusades was entirely justified. The Seljuk Turks were within months of taking down the Byzantine Empire. If Eastern Christianity fell, it's a good bet that Western Christianity would follow in a few generations. When Pope Urban II called the First Crusade in 1095, it came after over 400 years of Islamic aggression against Europe as well as Christendom.
Bad things happen in war and some of the men who went off to the Holy Land to crusade were terrible human beings. But I feel as if the bad events that occurred during the Crusades are sometimes overblown by modern scholarship to make the Catholic Church look bad. It wasn't until the Enlightenment period that you finally saw literature being published AGAINST the Crusades.
