You can absolutely discount him, 100%. If you are nodding along to a Ben Shapiro video, you have gotten something wrong.

I'm nodding along because it is in large part matches my history lessons in Israel. I went to school there, you can argue that makes my biased. However Shapiro is better than me at wording the subject. I don't mind you you making the effort and debunking his take if it is that easily debunked. Dismissing it completely is another issue.
