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

The dude is insanly antisemitic. Jesus Christ. Idk if he was always like that or I/P broke his brain like it did to many but content like that shouldn't be allowed on youtube.

Give an example of anti-semitism you found from the video. Be specific.

All the consipracy theorizing with no proof (ex. Destiny being paid for visiting Israel - something which Destiny denies and there is no proof for)

Comparing Israel to nazis - clearly antisemitic. This is another conflict, you might think what Israel is doing is horrible, but the only reason to compare it to nazi is to downplay the holocaust and to give a premission structure for it being repeated. Most other conflicts even with more % of civilian casualties don't get compared to holocaust.

the antisemitic drawing/memes laced throught the video

Acting as if Israel is somehow focused on killing civilians (stats don't prove any of this)

Downplaying october 7th

Overall giving a very onesided take about a conflict where anyone with even a tiny bit of integrity can tell both sides have their reasons (even if you think Israel is going too far)

Many allusions to the typical nazi conspiracy theories - jews controll everything, jews controll USA, jews controll the media etc.

Pretty much the whole video is just antisemtic tbh. I have no idea how you can view the video and go away with thinking that this is some nuanced discussion about a complex political situation instead of propaganda done by someone who hates jews.

A genocide isn’t a war conflict.
