I have a few thoughts on this video.

1. It is disturbing when a member of a labelled terrorist group makes sense.

2. Nobody is the good party in this situation. Atrocities have been committed on all sides and no matter who wins this war death and poverty will still be prevalent across the Middle East.
We hope for the lesser of all evils to win, but it will still be an evil, nonetheless.

It evokes the morality from The Witcher 3,
"Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary, the definitions blurred.
If I am to choose between one evil and another, I'd rather not choose at all."


I've come to the realization that supporting any side in this fight is supporting the deaths of innocents, no matter who you choose.
So I refuse to choose. This might not be a very pragmatic ideology, but I wouldn't let pragmatism get in the way of idealism, I think that is what's wrong with the world in the first place.

3. The walls in that building are not aligned properly, this is wrong and should be fixed. [Aside from the fact that it's been blown up.]
