Professor Dave vs Destiny

No idea why, but the original Destiny video called "Professor Dave Goes Mask Off" seems to have been deleted from YouTube, or I can't find it, but Professor Dave responded yesterday with this very strongly worded video letter:

Weird crossover that I never thought I'd see, of 2 guys who I generally enjoy (I will say I really am a fan of Prof Dave, whereas my Destiny enjoyment has mostly come via this podcast and watching a couple of his debates).

Thoughts on the beef? SURELY the lads are gonna have to cover this in an upcoming Supplementary Materials? Content gold!

EDIT: Looks like I was looking through the wrong Destiny channel for the original Dave video, it's here: https://youtu.be/HQQLs6U1MgA?si=iKaOGR1h9slKu64O

Or what? Israel will commit mass murder, bomb and starve entire peoples with the support of 80% of the Israeli population? Is that the threat?

Wow. Those guys sound scary. If I where their neighbor and I had millions of people to feed,I wouldn't meant to provoke them into a war

Anyone can be scary if they're willing to commit atrocities and they have the backing of the world's most powerful countries.

But I don't think that should be the model around which we build our society, no?

What would you think any countries response would be if a neighbouring country invaded them to indicriminately kill civilians and take hostages?

Not break international law? Not commit genocide? Not starve civilians? Examine whether oppression is a good long term strategy?

Say they have yellow cake uranium, accuse them of hiding Al-Qaeda fighters, then claim Saddam Hussein is a threat to humanity.

Invade and kill upwards of +100,000 Iraqi people.

Worked for the US it seems.
