On foreign policy issues, conservatism has divided into two distinct camps: paleoconservatives and neoconservatives. In the United States the split began over the Cold War and today the divide is over the War on Terror. Paleoconservatives are traditional social conservatives who supports a foreign policy which benefits the nation as a whole. Paleoconservatives have been labeled as isolationists: those opposed to any military intervention.

Neoconservativism is a recent political ideology that is focused on Israel and the Middle East. Neoconservatives are internationalists. Most neoconservative ideologues are Jewish and are strong supporters of Zionism and the expansion of Israel.
