Whose calling Bennett a neocon? And who BTW is asserting that neocons are just conservatives who happen to be Jewish? I would consider people like Jean Kirkpatrick or the late Pat Moynihan to be neocons, although they were not Jewish. Milton Friedman is Jewish but I would label him a libertarian conservative rather than a neocon. And some of the earliest of the necons like James Burnham were certainly not Jews, Burnham having been a rather uppercrust WASP.
And anyway Robert Locke does classify Bennett as being of the Straussian camp. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=1233
