@FredAprim@Kodi86y2@Yasser_Kobani Apart from that, Hennerbichler based his work primarily on the studies of Ephraim Avigdor Speiser, one of the most prominent Assyriologists.
@ColdBrief@HakkriKurdX Sure, the PKK offers sooo much money. 😂
If that was the case, you would wear Che t-shirts and praise Apo’s democratic confederalism on a daily basis.
@FredAprim@Kodi86y2@Yasser_Kobani I mean what is the reason that most of ancient Assyria have become absolutely homogeneous Arab settlement areas?? And we are not talking about the post US invasion era. Christian islands in Kurdistan, on the other hand, exist to this day. Why??
@FredAprim@Kodi86y2@Yasser_Kobani Then explain what happened to the Christian communities in and around ancient Assur. Which rulers, wars, conversions and population movements account for their decline? If your explanation centres on Kurds, show how it accounts for that region too.
@FredAprim@Kodi86y2@Yasser_Kobani If Kurds were foreign conquerors who came & stayed, identify the conquest: when did it happen, who led it, which local rulers or institutions did they displace, & what resistance did your communities organise? You cannot simply assume Kurdish foreignness & present it as history.
@FredAprim@Kodi86y2@Yasser_Kobani Yes, we stayed because we are indigenous to the land. That’s why we are struggling for self-determination to this day. Kurds have established dynasties under Islamic rule, survived Mongol storms and became a decisive force during the Safavid-Ottoman conflict.
@FredAprim@Kodi86y2@Yasser_Kobani So yes, Kurds are the last realistic hope for many Christians in Iraq and Syria, not because Kurdish rule is perfect, but because it is the only regional framework currently offering them real space to survive as a people.
@FredAprim@Kodi86y2@Yasser_Kobani In Syria, Christians fled either to Assad’s areas or to SDF-controlled areas. But unlike Assad, the Kurdish-led administration allowed Aramaic education and institutional space for Christians.
