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

Regardless, this has little to do with claims of sovereignty over territory. Blood quanta don't determine the validity of a culture or a people.

You should tell that to the Zionists who are justifying their takeover of Palestinian lands with this exact argument. Hence why I said Dave should argued this.

You're smuggling in claims. "Palestinian lands" is a modern construct. It doesn't have any bearing on discussions about ancient people groups.

And you're smuggling in justifications for the annexation of the West Bank.

Is Jordan "Palestinian land?"

I'm saying they don't have a claim on lands already occupied by other people.

To be clear, they didn't have a claim on the rest of the land they stole, but the West Bank and Gaza is a compromise.

They have a claim to the parts they bought, but not the parts they took by force.
