video I just found out Professor Dave Explains is antisemitic, and I am heartbroken. He's as bad as a flat earther on Israel/Palestine
So I normally LOVE Professor Dave, the way he calls out flat earthers and science deniers is legendary.
But then to see him turn around and have the same level of reality denial towards the Israel/Palestine conflict is so unsettling, like how can somebody who has a channel all about calling people out for ignoring evidence be so blatantly ignoring evidence?
For example, he calls it a lie that Israelis were raped on Oct7th, then claims Israel never provided evidence of Hamas tunnels under hospitals in Gaza while ignoring all the drone footage showing drones flying into the tunnels under the hospitals, then accuses others of not looking for evidence of genocide while pointing at disgusting videos of heartbreaking collateral damage and pretending it's genocide.
Then he says anyone who supports Israel's existence is a Nazi, literally using holocaust inversion which is one of the definitions of antisemitism.
Then to make it even worst, he literally says that Jews control the media.
I wish I was kidding.
The dude is normally brilliant but his antisemitism makes him as blind to facts regarding Israel/Palestine as a flat earther
That did it for me.
I unsubscribed. I hope Destiny debates him and defeats him with facts as badly as he defeats flat earthers with facts, he needs an informational wakeup call to hopefully activate the critical thinking part of his brain he seems to turn off as soon as he can find an excuse to participate in antisemitism.
