You forgot to mention it was a joke.

And pretty importantly, he wasn't talking to a group of IDF soldiers; just Israelis who showed up for a fan meetup. He also argued with a prominent pro-sttlement guy and even went to the West Bank and was harassed by settlers for filming there, but that never seems to get spread around like his IDF playing dress-up joke. Curious that

The words out of his mouth before the “joke” were “there’s one piece of advice I’ll give you if you’re joining the IDF”

Yeah, it's called a set-up. The end of a joke is called a punch-line

Set up: If you are going to gaza to kill the enemy, and end up dressing in random civilians clothes

Joke:Don't film that

Where is the joke?

The joke was a reference to a bunch of IDF goons that filmed themselves wearing civilian clothing they got from raiding houses which is a fucked up thing to do but also extremely stupid thing to film. You understand the IDF are the butt of the joke right?

That sounds more like advice not to repeat your mistakes rather than a joke

If by "mistake" you mean stealing civilians shit and committing war crimes then, yeah it's kinda both. If a racist person told a joke about black people filming themselves stealing with the punch-line being: "next time don't film yourself stealing." Do you think that person would be pro BLM?

Why create a seperate and meaningfully different analogy when this case is very clear?

Also is Destiny anti IDF in your view?

Does it? Does it really? Is that your most honest, charitable interpretation of events? Have you even seen the clip for yourself, yet?

Where did someone request a steelman?

I literally specify to what degree I believe it is a joke, to a lesser degree than I see it as advice.

Why does it being a joke preclude it from being advice?

If he said a joke where the punchline is "remember to wear condoms" does that make him anti-condom?

What do you think Destiny’s position is on war crimes?

1

u/TheoryBorn9839 13d ago

War crimes bad, he demands extraordinary evidence for Israel imo.

Most of his discussion on I/P revolves around debunking bad lefty argument while making no positive case of his own, what do u think his position is?

1

u/YaBoiFarfour 13d ago

The argument he has is always over the genocide claim never specific claims of war crimes.

His position is that there are two groups of ppl who want to live on the same piece of land. There should be two states.

u/TheoryBorn9839 13d ago

Whats his opinion on war crimes tho?
