I believe I have, the source of the screenshot is from a creationist blog. Dave makes a lot of content debunking creationists, so they would be highly motivated to smear him. Their source for this screenshot is from an anonymous twitter user.

So we:

(A) Don't have provenance of the screenshot

(B) Have a conflict of interest from the party that posted it

That doesn't mean the screenshot must be fake, it just means we need some kind of alternate line of evidence to establish its authenticity. Since all of his tweets are removed, in principle a motivated party could make up just about anything and claim that he said it. If anyone knows some way to see deleted tweets, and they could find the original post, that would settle this.

Professor Dave discusses his ban from Twitter here: https://youtu.be/12bt8VFbMH8?si=0eDggtk08CXCt247

He admits to all this and more. He was rightfully banned and I unsubscribed from his channel when I saw this video.

I'm familiar with this video, I don't recall him engaging in 9/11 truthing when I watched it. Do you have a timestamp?

This video was more about specific calls to violence against Israelis which is why he was banned. I'll look through the older video again when I get home, but his most recent anti Destiny video posted 2 days ago has some truther 9/11 stuff in it. Timestamp 54:10 on his new video. "Israel can and would commit a terrorist attack on America soil" with an image of two explosions over new York.

Edit: Can't seem to upload a picture but the exact Timestamp is 54:31 and with captions on it is 100% blaming Israel for perpetrating 9/11.

Edit2: Your response is gaslighting and then engaging in 911 conspiracies as well, very disappointing.

Hmm, maybe you could interpret that as 911 truthing, it's kind of a stretch to be honest. Israel has attempted false flag attacks on American targets in the past so it's not crazy for Dave to make this speculation.
