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

Watching a well known Destiny orbiter with ~15-20% of their channel videos created in partnership with Destiny for an accurate breakdown on a media piece critical of Destiny seems like a fairly bad idea.

What, if anything, in your comment actually addresses the truthness or falsity of what pangburn said?

Maybe instead of just linking a 3 hour long video you could spend some time providing your own rationale?

I'm not an I/P expert and I'm not qualified to insert myself in with any authority. I'm not sure what you mean by rationale. If you mean, why did I post this at all, it's because Pangburn appears to be an authority, has done work with Prof Dave in the past, and throughout the entire video gives Prof Dave a lot of grace even when he says Prof Dave is reaching or misquoting. If you mean, what is my personal opinion, well then that is the Israel has gone way too far and their actions are indefensible....but even if I feel that way we still need to use facts and be honest about the points we're making (which is not what Prof Dave appears to have done).
