Question of the day: Have there been any Zionists that could be described as decent, moral people of sound humanitarian values and principle?

NB Our service provider OpenAI could not process our prompt due to a moderation system. We have been asked to rephrase it, changing potentially problematic words, and try again. This is censorship at its crudest. They can of course go **** themselves.
My Gran had a stock response to expressions of racism, prejudice, and xenophobia in her presence. It was invariably, “We are all God’s children.” She loved all children, everywhere.
Let’s switch focus.
The Israel-Palestinian strife is unrelenting. It has now dragged into its third sinful, evil and merciless year. The true measure of this catastrophe is not land seized. It is not the strategies pursued. It is the stolen futures of innocent children. These are not mere statistics; they are lives extinguished, dreams crushed, families shattered forever. We face the human abyss of global crises. The cold data from UN agencies demands our moral outrage. It calls for urgent action.

On Friday, the 9th of January 2026, Captain (Israeli Navy, Reserves) Doctor Azi Dagan posted a short video on the LinkedIn group IOSI: Counter-Terrorism and Geopolitical Security, accompanied by the text: The Iranian regime is slaughtering the protesters. To which I replied: It’s truly terrible, a foul crime. But what did you have to say about the slaughter of more than 20,000 innocent children? The reply to that was: We would say that it’s Hamas propaganda!

David Jacobs wrote the following comment on X:
“Many on this platform still believe that they can tease Zionism away from Judaism. That’s not possible. It’s time for me to repost my previous explanation. And yes, if you use ‘Zionist’ as a slur, or rage against Zionists, you are indeed a Jew hater.”
This is a considered and measured response to that tweet and associated tweets.

What is Hasbara?
Hasbara, a Hebrew term meaning “explanation,” refers to Israel’s public diplomacy and propaganda efforts. These efforts aim at shaping international opinion in favour of its policies. This is particularly true regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It transcends mere PR. It functions as a strategic tool to control narratives, delegitimise critics, and portray Israel as a perpetual victim. It justifies its actions, including occupation and military operations. Government entities like the former Ministry of Strategic Affairs coordinate hasbara. It involves state funding. Volunteer networks and partnerships disseminate pro-Israel messages globally.

تنبيه هام: لم تتم مراجعة هذه الترجمة من قبل متحدث متقن للغة العربية.
لا ينتهي الصراع العنيف بالقوة وحدها. يعلمنا التاريخ أن السبيل الوحيد للخروج من الحرب والوحشية والمعاناة هو التفاوض. والتفاوض، في الواقع، يتطلب دائمًا تقديم تنازلات.
مع ذلك، تُوصم الدعوات إلى الحوار اليوم في كثير من الأحيان بالضعف، أو ما هو أسوأ، بالانحياز إلى الإرهابيين. هذه كذبة خطيرة. إن الدعوة إلى السلام ليست تأييدًا للعنف، بل هي تأكيد على قيمة الحياة، واعتراف بكرامة المجتمعات وبقائها.

Ла-Корунья, Галисия. 9 декабря 2025 г.
Насильственный конфликт не заканчивается одной лишь силой. История учит нас, что единственный выход из войны, жестокости и страданий — это переговоры. А переговоры в реальном мире всегда требуют компромисса.
Однако сегодня призывы к диалогу слишком часто клеймят как слабость или, что еще хуже, как «поддержку террористов». Это опасная ложь. Выступая за мир, мы не одобряем насилие. Мы настаиваем на ценности жизни. Мы признаем достоинство общин и выживание общества.

“I was a fool, and what I’ve seen has made me two fools.”
Rafael Alberti, Spanish poet
My dear brothers and sisters in humanity. Fellow seekers of justice. To all who yearn for a world of true peace, let us gather our hearts and voices as one. We are bound by a spirit of reconciliation beyond borders and creeds. We are inspired by the unyielding pursuit of dignity for every soul. We must examine the depths of our times and raise our cry against wrongdoing. It is crucial to confront the shadows of wrongdoing. We must confront the criminality and impunity that darken our shared world. We must stand resolute against injustice, wherever it rears its head, and proclaim with unwavering conviction: Enough is enough.

London’s Broadcasting House is the BBC’s home. The air hums with the ceaseless rhythm of newsrooms. The ghosts of Reithian ideals linger in the corridors. The British Broadcasting Corporation stands as a colossus of public media. At its outset, the BBC was to “inform, educate and entertain” Reith carefully placed the words in that order. It is the Latin inscription in the hallway of Old Broadcasting House.

Is the world, as some people claim, staying silent about the terror being perpetrated in Sudan?
Here are our thoughts and views on the topic.
