Why would jews fight for christian isis and wouldn't most jews just not defect to the muslims as the muslims treated them much better also middle eastern jews are going to then have to actively fight alongside muslims to save there postitions.
Yes, they did. So the whole idea of the real and Jewish “crusaders” happily marching to fight a common enemy (why in that scenario the Jews will be viewing the Muslims as their enemies requires a thorough explanation because logic is noticeably absent) looks like a not very funny joke, to put it mildly.

It should be noted that some Jews did take up arms for the Kingdom of Jerusalem as part of communal levies, but other than that, it was hard to find examples of Jews taking up arms in Crusades.
Most of the time, a bull issued for Crusade meant a time to hide persons and possessions because of the zeal that followed.
Now, I could see Jewish suppprt as plausible in the case of an Iberian Crusade against the notoriously anti-Jewish Almohads, but that is about it.
