The whole world is obsessed about the Palestinians who are referenced as “indigenous people” when they are really peoples from Ottoman South Syria. The Jews are the indigenous inhabitants of their land, as are Christians throughout the Middle East–both groups tormented by jihadists who want them to either be dhimmis or vanish. The aim of the Palestinian leadership to obliterate Israel is no secret and neither is the continual persecution of Christians.

With this propaganda driven obsession about “indigenous” Palestinians, who pays attention to the rights of truly indigenous Assyrians? They are “the descendants of the original inhabitants of ancient Assyria, have lived in the Middle East for millennia and are indigenous to Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey. The Assyrian language they speak, which is also known as Aramaic, Syriac or Neo-Aramaic, was the mother tongue of Jesus.”

“Since the rise of Islam in the seventh century, however, Assyrians and other Christians became “dhimmis,” or second-class subjects”, which also happened across the Middle East. For example, Egypt was 99% Christian before the bloody jihadist conquest of their country. Christians are also driven out of their ancestral homeland, Bethlehem.

Assyrians are now being terrorized in accordance with the Islamic instruction to cast terror into the heart of disbelievers. Who wouldn’t be terrified under these circumstances….

On May 13, assailants broke into an Assyrian Christian home and attacked two elderly women, a mother and daughter, in the Iraqi town of Bartella. The women were repeatedly stabbed with a knife and their gold and money were stolen. The two victims were then hospitalized in Mosul. The daughter, who sustained a violent head injury, remains in critical condition.

The horror of the 1400 year old Islamic jihad is a continued fresh reminder for the Assyrian Christian minority who simply wish to live in peace in their homeland, like Jews who try to do the same in Israel.

Western countries are doomed to become replicas of the Middle East and Africa if they allow Islamization to proliferate.
