Konstantin Kisin vs. Entire Audience at Doha Debates

This is a fascinating debate. I am only 25 minutes into it so far, but it isn't really "Konstatin Kisin Vs Entire Audience". He definitely makes some important points. But I think he and the audience find a lot of common ground as well. 

The young people in the audience seem to have a good grasp of how the world actually works, and they don't, in general, seem to blame all their problems on the Western World. They are aware that the world is comprised China, Russia, "The East", the Middle East, the South, etc. 

And, when they speak of nations all asserting their own "narratives', "competing interests", etc., they actually sound a bit like they are articulating Donald Trump's theory of Foreign Policy (all nations do and should work to promote their own goals).

That being said, there are certainly crazy claims made without references to back them up. At around the 22 minute mark, a young woman named Hannah claims Israeli soldiers "beheaded 40 babies." Ok, where's the evidence?
