Hi friends, it would mean the world if you supported our ability to keep making videos like this one and our fundraising efforts here through Seek Discomfort's new drop live now:
🌎 For US & Worldwide (minus Europe): www.seekdiscom...
🌍 For Europe: eu.seekdiscomf...
Thanks to our fantastic guide and friend Aya Salih @aya__0_0/@safraty__ for making that trip so memorable. Don't hesitate to reach out to her if you ever want to travel to Baghdad.
Then just a note from Thomas here, I am super grateful and humbled to have the ability to create and share stories like this one. I know this isn’t the most algorithm-optimized, easy to consume, but I do feel that we need more stories like this more than the mindless RU-vid challenge content. So I do hope it resonates with you and that it can, as I say in the video, build a bridge or plant a seed for empathy within us. I appreciate any and all of your support whatever it looks like from liking, commenting or buying some Seek, all of it goes a lot further than you can imagine. Much love to you all, see you on the next one.
Thank you to Aya for taking us, follow and contact her here:

I was an American Soldier, and spent a year in Baghdad from 2005-2006. Mostly in Karradah, Al-Dora, and Al-Kindi. I watched every minute of this intently, to see if I recognized anything. I spent many days on patrol in the back streets of those neighborhoods. I made many Iraqi friends, some are now here in the U.S. Others are dead, and I miss them dearly. Especially my good friend Ruqqaya Ibrahim, who we called "Sarah", She was one of my interpreters and was fearless on many missions. She died in 2017 and is missed by so many. I was an invader, but the Iraqi people were kind and warm. I cannot take back the reasons why I was there, but I learned much from the Iraqi people and was changed by my experiences. Thank you for this video. It brought back many memories.

I am 70. I am convinced that the people of the world are more alike than not. Yes, we come from different locations, we have different cultures , different biological markers but all that is surface level. What remains in the true human soul. What divides us ...is our leaders. They divide us with fear, lies, hatred, greed and violence. What if we got rid of all governments , each community weed out the trouble makers and we all learn to love and respect each other?

@blessingsoutlaw 3 месяца назад

My reaction too. Imagine what would happen to the planet if the decisionmakers were women like Tomas’s guide. No child would go hungry, unhoused, unclothed or unsheltered. The elderly and infirm would always be provided for, and misbehavers would be recognized and nurtured during childhood instead of festering until adulthood.

I was deployed to Iraq in 2003. I spent the first 5 months in AL Hillah. I was fortunate enough to be able to interact with the local people on a daily basis. I became close with a few of them, but there was a mother and her young son who captured my heart. We didn't speak the same language and most of our communication was done through an interpreter. But they became family. On our last day in AL Hillah she brought her husband and daughters to see me. Her husband gave me a ring that he had been wearing & told me its to remember them.I wore that ring for almost 20 years before the band snapped. I miss my friends dearly & I think about them quite often. I have told everyone for the last 20 years that the people of Iraq are amazing people. They are warm, welcoming, and proud to share their culture. I had so many wonderful experiences in Al Hillah because of the people who lived there, despite the conflict that ravaged the country at that time. I wish someday I can go back. 🤞

War and oppression are hideous, no matter who's doing it or who is inflicting them. Like people anywhere, the bad guys are a tiny percentage of a culture, but we shouldn't judge the entire country/group/religion based on those few.

First of all, congratulations on the wedding Zaeem！ I am a Chinese guy and before I saw this video, my impression of Iraq was that it was a country with war and insecurity but a long history and culture(because there is very little information and news about Iraq on the Internet ). I will arrive in Erbil, Iraq around November this year to attend a plastics exhibition, and then I may go to Baghdad. Before I saw this video, I was always hesitant about whether to go to Iraq, but now I feel more at ease. I hope I can make some friends and clients in Iraq in November this year. I hope the people of Iraq will always be happy and safe. Love from China. ♥

There are also issues with the cultures and the people at large, and I can't defend some of those things, but it hurts when animosity between different groups of people is caused by a lack of direct cultural exchange. Thank you for doing this. Have only seen a bit of the video, but something in the intro set me thinking about this. Also, I love Kebabs!

I am half-Iraqi from Finland and I was in Iraq those very same days, Thomas, for the first time in my life! The drone attack was our first night in Erbil. The North was green and beautiful. I visited Rabban Hormizd monastery close to Baadre the Yezidi town. And Duhok or Nohadra for the Aramaic-speaking Christians. Thank you for the positive coverage of Iraq the cradle of civilization.

This video really touched me. Even the ad in the middle was so powerful I can't stop thinking about it. How lovely and hospitable were all the people, it's amazing! Thank you so much for showing this to the world and thank you for the quest of showing people that we are all one. You truly are the best channel on RU-vid.💜
