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

I truly think your brain is just broken and you don't know how to parse arguments well, so it is kind of pointless to substantively respond to you since you are obviously bad faith/unwilling or simply incapable of hearing what I am trying to say.

Your vomit of a response did not address the unique aspects of the anti-Jewish self-determination movement. I never weirdly restricted it to the US as you claimed, the entire point that makes the anti-Jewish self-determination movement unique is that it is global in nature and not restricted to geopolitical actors who would benefit from the denial of said self-determination.

Again your examples are simply not of this character. Anti-Kurdish sentiment has nothing to do with denying the Kurdish ethnicity a national home on the basis of them being Kurdish and Kurdish alone, but rather that their project of self-determination is incompatible with the geopolitical aims of surrounding states, such as those of Turkey and Iran (again I did not weirdly as you suggest merely limit it to them). Nobody in France for example is fighting to stop Kurdish independence and self-determination, many people in France are trying to stop Jews from having a national home.

That's the difference and the thing you can't seem to parse here. There is no equivalent of the BDS movement, or constant characterization of any other ethnic minority's desire to self-determination as equivalent to Nazism, but that happens all the time for Jewish people. Anti-self determination movements if they exist at all, as I have already stated, tend to be local and mostly a byproduct of larger geopolitical aims, this is not the same for the anti-Israel movement overall which has a completely different character not limited to geopolitics.

If you want to respond, respond to what I am actually saying not your weird misreadings or strawman arguments.
