A Light unto the Nations
A Philo-Semite, President Carter, Jew Dog, Henry Ford's Legacy, Tax Bill, Flying to Israel, and Biden's Deal: The Weekly Conquest Week of 12.29.24 – 1.4.25
Welcome to the ZioKnight
Week of December 29, 2024
Second U.S. President, John Adams
I was researching a pet project on John Adams when I was met with an anachronistic question: “Was John Adams a Zionist?” Although Zionism didn’t exist yet, he would certainly meet the criteria, saying:
For I really wish the Jews again in Judea an independent nation.
The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation.
So to the historical revisionists, I guess it’s time to cancel another Founding Father!

Jimmy Carter With Egyptian and Israeli leadership
Former U.S. President, Jimmy Carter passed away at 100 years old. He has the legacy of a deep friend and foe of Israel.
During his presidency, he secured peace between Egypt and Israel. A contemporary described him as contributing “at least as much to securing Israel's long-term existence as President Harry Truman did when he recognized Israel's establishment in 1948.”
He redefined the post-presidency experience, staying constantly involved in politics to a point some believed was a fault. He vilified Israel and legitimized Hamas with his activism and writing. He characterized Israel as an apartheid state in his book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. [1][2]

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds Bear Jew
The Israeli Security Agency neutralized two October 7th terrorists and 12 others in a precise operation. They have been going all out Inglourious Basterds Bear Jew style for weeks, taking them out one by one. The IDF has been dutifully reporting its progress but hasn’t provided the scalps to prove it.

Now Deleted Posts From Ford’s X
Ford’s X account was breached, resulting in three posts that "do not represent the views of Ford Motor Company." Notoriously antisemitic, Henry Ford, would be proud. [5]
Wednesday 1.1
Netanyahu left the hospital early and another Knesset member left sitting shiva (mourning) for his mother to pass a vital tax bill. It will raise 9.25 billion shekels in 2025 and then 4.35 billion annually. It will close a corporate tax loophole and increase national insurance payments for the average Israeli by 1,000-2,000 shekels per year. [6][7]
Thursday 12.2
Former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant resigned from Knesset while remaining a member of the Likud party. He’s protesting the judicial overhaul, Haredi draft exemptions, and clashes with Netanyahu. While on temporary leave, he claims his “journey is not yet complete.” [8][9]

Screenshot of El Al Ticket Price
A new Israeli airline, TechAir, is opening to shuttle tech leaders between the U.S. and Israel. I’m considering going into tech since it’d be cheaper to become a tech leader to take a $900 flight than fly at El Al’s prices… [10]
Saturday 12.4
President Biden is rounding up his presidency with a bang by proposing one final arms sale to Israel. He notified Congress of a pending $8 billion deal including munitions for fighter jets, attack helicopters, and artillery. He delivered the most resounding “no” to his party’s fringe, which had recently requested conditions on such sales. [11]
