Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
It's sad to listen to your testimony, because it sounds so hopeless. If there's one thing that all of us want to have, it's hope for the future.
Mr. Allos, let me ask you a question to perhaps help me understand. You said something that seems counterintuitive to me. You talked about Jewish people and Christians having to pay a tax. It seems to me so counterintuitive: if they kill these people, the funding is no longer available.
Is it so insignificant an amount of money that it really doesn't make any difference to the coffers of ISIS, or is it just that they are making a statement to the world by destroying these ethnic groups?
