A neo con is a big government Republican who thinks America should always be at war while putting Israel first.

You know, Jews might well know something about being militarily weak AND wealthy in a world that is militarily strong AND poor (comparatively speaking).

It can become short, nasty and brutish PDQ.

They lost their own military caste sometime in the 2nd Century AD, and didn't begin to recover from that problem until the 18th Century AD when the King of France granted Jews the "right to keep and bear arms".

BTW, that right carried with it the privilege of defending one's self in court! It's not just about carrying firearms and swords! Plus, you could enlist in the French army. The first well known use of Jews in combat occurred on the Plains of Abraham where the White Coats encountered the invading Brits.

It's an interesting dichotomy. The Jews returned as a people in every sense that counts by first defending America. There are Americans who are not Jews who believe we have a moral responsibility to defend Israel.
