I watched a little past where he referred to Oct 7th as a quote "spectacular success", seriously, a spectacular success. That's pretty sick, the mass murder of kids at a music festival for example a "spectacular success".

I think sometimes people interpret certain words incorrectly. This is one of them. I don't think he meant it in a way of being proud, but more of it being surprisingly effective.
I find it amusing too when people think an 'argument' is solely about a negative discussion. I think most educated people can see the word argument as stating a case or viewpoint, not just as different parties arguing with each other.
But I do agree in that this guy seems a little too one-sided, showing the Israelis in a negative light and glossing over the attacks by Hamas. You would almost think that Hamas was a group intending on helping the Palestinians instead of a group that is effectively bringing poverty to them.
He is a Hamas apologist at best.
I watched the first part of his speech so as to hear a learned argument against the Israeli state, so I could consider the opposite side from an intelligent argument.
All I heard was a bias hypothesis with opinion and hearsay as the only evidence to support it. If that is the best argument for genocide and ethnic cleansing there is from a well respected published academic then it shows how weak the claims are.
For example he cites the 67 and 73 war as prior examples of ethnic cleansing, as proof of the Israeli goal, he completely ignores the fact Israel was attacked in both instances by other countries. How bias can you be to just ignore history like that.
Meanwhile 600000 dead in Syria but no one gives a crap because they haven't found a way to blame Israel for that . It's such hypocrisy, all the claims of genocide on Israel but none for Syria. How can anyone not see the real motive is anti semitism, its not human rights or care for innocent lives or don't Syrians count as much as Palestinians.
Hypocrites or fools, not sure which.
