no, let's be realistic, since the Bar Kokhba revolt, Jews haven't stood up for themselves until a bunch of them realized in about 1900 that that method wasn't working, so they abandoned the "old jew" moved to Israel, and began farming and arming themselves in order to defend( and maybe attack, that is unclear) as they were living in an Arab country. Were it not for the "chalutzim", or pioneers, who abandoned the shtetl jew of Europe, Israel would likely not exist today. Today, the Jews fighting force is the Israel Defense Force. Before the Romans, Greeks, Persians, Medians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. The entire male over 21 population was part of the military, unless they fell under certain exceptions. (such as engaged, but not married, started a house, didn't finish, planted a field, haven't harvested. etc.)
Yes, the Jews did have military forces such as the Maccabees in ancient times who revolted against Greek rule. In more recent history, Jewish military organizations like the Haganah played a significant role in the establishment of the state of Israel. However, the Jews did not have traditional orders of knights like those seen in medieval Europe.

I am not sure what military strength you think the Jews had at that time in history. The Jews were peaceful and unarmed citizens of various nations in Europe at the time Hitler arranged to have millions of them killed. In the post war period, after the founding of Israel in 1948, Jews now have some real military strength. They did not have any during the time of the holocaust.
Yes, a Jew can be knighted, as knighthood is typically awarded based on service to the country or community, rather than religious affiliation. However, historically, there have been restrictions on Jews receiving knighthood due to discriminatory practices.
