    It was because his points were factually incorrect, which is what Finkelstein was pointing out. If you are saying that ‘as long as the argument sound good it good’, then you are willfully ignorant. He never made a better argument than Finkelstein.

        He tried to portray the great march of return as violent when it was overwhelmingly non violent. Of 30,000 demonstrators, 2 were seen to carry weapons. It was by and large peaceful while Israeli snipers deliberately incapacitated people hundreds of meters away from the fence. Destiny was wrong on this, but tried to used single instances of violence to “debunk” the fact that it was nearly entirely non-violent.

        I’m not going to rewatch the video, but I recall he literally doesn’t believe European Jews coming in is settler colonialism, nor that Israel is part of the British project of Palestinian partition, which directly contradicts the UN history of the matter, despite citing the same document for support of other points.

        Besides the point that he absolutely believes the current slaughter is justified.
