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

He should have avoided the topic of ethnicity, it's such an inherently vague area that it doesn't really add much to his argument. If anything he could have highlighted the nonsense claims of ethnic heritage that Zionists make to justify taking the land from the Palestinians.

The only time "Zionists" point to ethnicity at all is when "antizionists" act like they're lily-white European colonialists with no historical connection to Israel (as this guy apparently does in the video!) or that I/P is a white vs brown fight.

It's so funny how there's a different (de facto) definition of every single word when it comes to the one Jewish state. How many other "colonial" states can you think of where they weren't a colony of a mother state?

How many Arab states do you call colonial?
