The human rights advocacy community obviously has done a tremendous service in bringing the suffering of the Yazidis in particular to the attention of a wider world. That includes decision-makers like you, of course, on the subcommittee. Not to compare the suffering, but it's important to keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of victims of the Islamic State are Sunni Arabs, victimized in both Iraq and most especially Syria, where Islamic State rarely gets its hands on minorities—Shia, Christians, and so forth; there's no Yazidi to speak of in Syria.
