Wisdom from Yassin Al-Haj Saleh ياسين الحاج صالح: don't celebrate HTS's military gains & ignore its ideology OR decry its ideology & ignore its ability to resist the regime.

Yassin Al-Haj Saleh ياسين الحاج صالح I don't adhere to any of these ideologies, but what actually counts, in the end, are the actual ethics of how their adherents relate to others. What counts are the crimes they commit. Nobody should be judged on their conviction alone.
