Re: Let Them Stay: protesters gather around Australia to prevent return of asylum see
Firstly, fuck the Kurds, they're incestuous thieves whose contributions to this fight against ISIS is to come out on top as heroes. They steal Assyrian innovations, land and culture and claim it as their own. Operation Anfal makes me inexplicably happy; not only was Saddam good to the Assyrians, he was savage towards those animals.
I'm against Assyrians fleeing their historic homeland - and either way, many of them choose to stay and fight. However, these are still people that are persecuted and unfortunately, on many occasions, singled out by these ISIS dogs for torture and execution. In addition to your remark about whether or not I'd go and resettle Nineveh - I love Australia, I'm highly patriotic and indebted to this great nation but I would leave to resettle Nineveh if and when the time comes.
However, in response to whether I'd leave my luxurious Western lifestyle to go and fight, then no, I wouldn't. It doesn't even boil down to cowardice or fear, it's just my family moved her in search of a better life; one where I can be educated and free, and I feel my time would be better spent contributing to the unification of the Assyrians and the devised platform for our concern through my education and studies, then it is to go and patrol a foreign land, armed with a weapon, fighting a war the Assyrians shouldn't even be in.
Also, I do realise that 'Assyrian' isn't a religion - my intent was to point out that I'd rather assist any of the Assyrians who are Iraqi and Syrian minorities, than the bulk Iraqi and Syrian Muslim population.
I care more for the land of Assyrian traditional settlement, and the Assyrians that reside on it, than the Iraqi Muslims, who shouldn't even be there.
