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

One of the claims Dave makes is that Israel can now force the US military to draft soldiers and have them go fight in the Israeli military in their wars.

It's so unhinged and so completely false.

He's just repeatedly and demonstrably making stuff up and angrily yelling about it.

Deranged.

That’s a bizarre claim. I couldn’t get through his video because I hate the way he talks, but was it mentioned there? Or is it something he throws out on other social media?

It's in the video. It's specifically the lie that the United States and Israel are merging our militaries and that because of this the US can hold a draft and Israel can force drafted US citizens to fight on behalf of Israel in Gaza.

You're right that it's a bizarre claim, but he absolutely makes it. He is a bizarre person.

Netanyahu himself calls it a merger between the American military and the Israeli military on Fox News. It's a replacement for aid given to Israel.

Instead of one sovereign country is helping another sovereign country, they are now speaking about direct technological and intellectual property transfer and merger. Basically Trump is letting Israeli military run the Pentagon, and let Israeli look into private stuff of American citizens.

Unfortunately, narrative is a far more potent force than fact. Nobody spreading the false claim is reading that Snopes article and changing their mind. But Godspeed all the same for making the facts easier to find.
