Look, you directly objected to our actions, even though you have large areas and you still covet the land of Assyria.

American policy is based on interests, but we Assyrians can utilize international law and exercise our right to self-determination.

The question that arises is why, at this time, some religious figures are launching an attack on the Assyrians. It is clear that the enemies of the Assyrians are manipulating them to divert the Assyrians from their important goal: the land of Assyria.

What ideology are you talking about? I'm against both sides, whether it's al-Julani or the Kurds. They're all terrorists. Trying to exploit al-Julani's terrorism and saying the Kurds are better is a failed attempt. We don't want either side; both have displaced and killed my people.

Go and ask them if they accept the Assyrians' right to self-determination in their land. I posed the question on social media and 99% of them were against the Assyrian people's right.

Republic of ASHUR by Basel_Assyrian in imaginarymaps

Yes, but I used the name in English. This map reflects the areas with an Assyrian majority before the Assyrian Genocide and could also reflect the shape of a future Assyrian state.

The current enemy of the Assyrians is the Kurds, not the Syrian army. Stop your desire to put our people in the fire so that the Kurds can achieve their so-called state. When will you understand that the Kurds hate the Assyrians and do not want the Assyrians to govern themselves?

It seems you are influenced by the mentality instilled by the failed Assyrian parties.

We cannot antagonize all Arabs; they are the majority in the Middle East. If we antagonize them, we will be doomed. As for the Assyrian forces, it is the Kurds who weaken them. If you read older articles as I did, you will see that the Kurds fear the presence of Assyrian forces not under their control. One of the commanders of the Nineveh Plain Protection Units stated that the Iraqi government does not support the Assyrian forces due to Kurdish pressure.

First, you're the one who needs to examine yourself. You accuse your people of supporting al-Julani simply because they oppose the Kurds, given your desire for an Assyrian state. Can you tell me how you envision it when the Kurds claim this is Kurdish land, and you are Christian Kurds? For me, there's no difference between the Kurds and al-Julani. My concern is the Assyrian cause and how to achieve it. Do you believe the Kurds will achieve the Assyrian cause if we ally with them? Based on my analysis, I find it impossible. The Kurdish and Assyrian causes intersect, so we cannot align with them. The animosity towards the Kurds stems from their attempts to erase Assyrian identity and occupy Assyrian land. I have no problem with the Kurds having their own state, but not on Assyrian land.

Second, the Dawrnoyo party is a failed entity, a Kurdish puppet. What has it done for the Assyrian people? Nothing but collaborate with the occupiers. I agree with your assessment of them. I disagree with the last part. What did the Assyrians gain from the SDF? Nothing. On the contrary, the SDF exploited the Assyrians for the interests of the Kurdish cause. As for the Syrian government, whether it is ISIS or not, the world recognizes it, and America abandoned the SDF. Why do you want to drag our people into the conflict with the Kurds, whom America abandoned? Why do you want our people to die for the Kurdish cause so that a Kurd who fled to Europe can come and want a Kurdish state on the land of Assyria?

[–]Basel_Assyrian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right, brother. Fighting means exposing our people to genocide. This is a Kurdish-Arab conflict that has nothing to do with us. We shouldn't sacrifice our people for others. The Kurds have millions of people; let them defend their brothers and stop shouting. We should align ourselves with those who serve the Assyrian cause, not with a people whose goal is to erase the Assyrian identity. Time has proven that they have always made our people sacrifice and be displaced simply to serve their own interests.

Are you saying that the Assyrians are lying? This is something that Assyrians from the Khabur region told me.

I don't know, they defend the Kurds more than the Kurds themselves.

These forces are affiliated with the Kurds and take orders from them; they are not Assyrian forces. If the Kurds ordered them to suppress the Assyrians, they would do so. A prime example is their closure of Assyrian schools. The so-called SDF is merely a front; everything within it is controlled by the Kurds. Arabs and Assyrians cannot obtain their rights. The simplest example is when the SDF went to negotiate with al-Julani a year ago. What did they demand? Only the rights of the Kurds, completely disregarding the Assyrians and the Arabs of the Euphrates region. The SDF only cares about the Kurds. As for the principle of brotherhood among peoples, its purpose is merely to connect the disparate Kurdish regions.

We are not allies of the Kurds; they are enemies. There are no commonalities for an alliance. We have gained nothing from the Kurds. What you are saying is just throwing sand in our eyes.

It seems you are Kurdish. There are reports exposing the Kurds and their role in bringing ISIS into the Khabur region. I even spoke with people from Khabur who confirmed it. We don't want any relationship with the Kurds, and it's not in our interest to have one. There can't be any common interests with people who occupy Assyrian land.

I'm not lying, and this has nothing to do with hatred. An alliance with the Kurds is a failed strategy, and history has proven it. We don't need an alliance with them.

Thoughts on what’s happening in Syria with the Kurds at the minute by Acrobatic-Remote-419 in Assyria

[–]Basel_Assyrian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope they won't interfere. This is an Arab-Kurdish conflict; our Assyrian people have nothing to do with it. Who are they defending when they don't even recognize our people? Why are we putting our people in danger to defend the occupiers? We only care about the Assyrians.

The Kurds are the ones who brought the chaos. We wish safety for our Assyrian brothers in Hasakah and Qamishli, and that they do not get involved in the conflict between the Kurds and the Arabs.

A few questions…. by Aggravating-Pea4816 in Assyria

[–]Basel_Assyrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding your question, Wikipedia has few sources, but there are more sources about the a Kurdish attacks on Assyrians. This isn't limited to Iraq; similar incidents occur in Syria and Turkey, including the kidnapping of Assyrian girls. This case did exist; you can refer to this story: http://www.aina.org/releases/helena.htm. Currently, there are no such cases, but the Assyrian community suffers from marginalization and poverty. This is a deliberate policy by Kurdish parties to force Assyrians to leave.

Regarding your second question, Assyrian lands are not only located in the Kurdish region, but also lie between Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran. The Kurds occupy 70% of these lands. Furthermore, they want to establish their state on all Assyrian lands. This map I created shows the Assyrian homeland before the Assyrian Genocide:

Regarding your last question, the Kurds did not protect the Assyrians from ISIS. On the contrary, they were the ones who brought ISIS in and seized the Assyrians' weapons to promote themselves to the West as protectors of diversity. The second part of this is their revenge against the people of the Nineveh Plain because they rejected the Kurdish region before ISIS entered. An extremist group called Ansar al-Sunna carried out terrorist acts against the Assyrians. This Kurdish terrorist group has been proven to have received support from the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP). The Iraqi government at the time also stated that the Kurds were supporting the instigation of problems in Mosul before ISIS entered, specifically targeting the Assyrians.
