Please go back and watch the video I posted.

I've followed the Syrian conflict since it erupted. There's just a power struggle between terrorist factions and they're all backed, trained and financed by Washington, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Turkey. Al Nusra fighters got medical treatment in Israel! Why do you think ISIL hasn't attacked in Jordan or Israel or Turkey or the oppressive Gulf monarchist kingdoms?
