Since I'm secular/agnostic, maybe my opinion wouldn't be taken seriously here. But as someone raised in the church and have knowledge in the bible, I have to call a spade a spade. He is wrong. Ashurbanipal and ancient Assyrians had their own religion. Why the hell would they worship and praise...

I call bullshit on that one. Not the smartest AI (but nice find lol). 😂 My English accent is Arabic (45%), followed by English (16%) and Brazilian (9%). I was raised here and I sound like many other Australians from the suburbs. I thought this will tell you what English accent you have (like...

Okay, late reply. I'm really interested to hear this long story honestly. :ROFLMAO:

I had a nice little time travel up there. Such a relic. Was reading through the "Are you ready for the new world order?" Interesting stuff

Baked walnuts?

The song is Tara Dwerokh. Only that Julie Yousif provided the vocals -- She also covered Aha Kiana Zalim (by Jermain Tamraz). This was in the opening of the 1997 episode, Furies (women dance to it in front of a Greek god). How come nobody ever mentioned this? Assyrians boast a lot about this...

This is getting silly and contorted. So I'm politically correct and yet you uttered this politically correct rhetoric that your biggest adversaries like Obama would spout out ("terrorism has no religion"), where they try hard separating Islam from terrorism to be politically correct and not hurt...

This is clearly Bethlehem/Palestine (look at the number plates) and there are people literally throwing rocks at the church (who look visibly Arab). And as said, Jews are barely found in Bethlehem. The Christian leaders do get harassed by Muslims as well there, but are a bit too afraid to say...

I have admitted that even the Israeli side posts lies (so I'm not blinded as you think I am). But this a video which clearly shows who the perpetrators are and what they're doing. Mar Mari would passionately condemn this and speak against Islamism (as he did, no wonder they stabbed him) and...

About the Turkey fighting Israel it will be catastrophic, even for us. Kurds in northern Iraq might join forces with Israel and attack Turkey (since they're allies with Israel). It will set a chain reaction where Turkey will end up bombing Iraqi Kurdistan, with many Assyrian casualties. So be...

I recommend you to make a vlogs on YouTube on top of your website. :)

I thought only westerners act this stupid for attention

What's wrong with singing in the shower? 😁

Persecutions of Christians in ACTUAL Palestine (church in Bethlehem stoned by Pally muzzies): (Wish that this website can play X videos seamlessly)

Lol hasbara (I like that word now). Look, there are many Syrian military organizations in that small country, to the point of pakhoota. Some work with each other, and others are enemies. It's nauseating... I do not deny that Bibi/Israel has funded Hamas in some ways (it's complicated, but I can...

Not too familiar with Sachs, but Finklestein is just as biased as Douglas Murray. Everything Israel does is "bad". The guy even lowkey cheered the October 7 attacks (“warms every fiber of my soul"). Both sides get paid to say their pro and anti Israel propaganda. Let's be real here. ISIS, Al...

Aren't they St Thomas Christians? They're very similar to the Church of the East.

Man, this is like a bigger fish eating smaller predators (considering that we have been preys of Kurds). But honestly, so much shit has been happening to the Kurds recently and I'm feeling bad for them zhareh. I think Assyrians as a whole should set our Kurdish hatred aside, and instead focus on...

Honestly as soon as I saw your name in this thread I knew you'd bring up Israel. So Israel has terrorist groups (even though both groups you mentioned have been defunct since the 1940s)? Shocking. The US has Proud Boys, which are active, and are designated as a terrorist groups by a few...

Wow, so you must've been 19-20 when you created this website the late 90s, yeah?

I thought January 6 was a disaster and I began to dislike Trump after that. But I wish the man all the best. He should khacha tone down his insults and not attack other nations (only because dumb liberals fall for the bait and scream "rayyyyceeuust"). I hope he become a better version of himself.

I was rather disappointed in PBD when Trump started to talk about Assyrians (how he met an Assyrian guy I think), and he cut Trump off by talking about something else. I wanted to see what Trump had to see about us. So frustrating. 🤦‍♂️

Without the moustache, he looks like a Slav (looks like Daniel Craig): He is definitely not more "Semitic" looking than curly haired brown eyed Einstein and the woggy faced Adam Sandler.

Well they're very "Jesus this Jesus that". They're madly Christian. As for Messianic Jews (who are actually, you can say, Evangelicals pretending to be Jews), they're actually "appropriating" Judaism, and so Jews cannot stand them. So I can see why Bibi sees them as a threat. Orthodox Jews get...

No man, all I said is that LGBT lobbyists are excessive defenders of Palestine. They're all over the media with their support ("Queers for Palestine"). And I never said you're a leftist. I'd assumed that you're an anti-Zionist Christian right winger in the likes of Candace Owens and Tucker...

Nice try. He's southern European...Italians, Iberians & Greeks, can look similar to us. Pretty sure somebody's mistaken you for an Italian too. Btw Scolari looks generically European to me though, maybe Turkish to the least? Nothing Semitic about his face. Semites have longish, ratty/rodent...

Nasha what you on about? That "nonsense" is from their own stupid website and Britannica. They are bunch of dudes who created their own religious group and some seem to be not fond of Jews as well. I couldn't care less about Hollywood, LGBT lobby, the pope and pornographers. A gay man doesn't...

We learn new things everyday. Wtf, I just saw their pics and it's true. Had no idea. Lmao. Yikes. Yalla nasha, they're HALF Semitic. You can tell from their faces. Einstein is the most Assyrian looking out of them.

Looks like Coruscant from Star Wars, wow

What about this? It was from last year's, but many of my family members (kheena older Assyrians gen) found it offensive:

https://masons.au/ So I read Freemasonry is a fraternal organization "that traces its roots back to the medieval stonemason guilds. It is built upon the foundational principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth; and promotes personal growth, social responsibility, and moral uprightness among...

We all lived as dhimmis under the Ottomans (excluding Muslims). Muslims in the Ottoman Empire used the Qur'anic idea of dhimmi to place certain restrictions on Jews and Christians living in the region. So yeah, invitations occurred but with one catch: We had to be dhimmis. Ottomans were...

That's right, because she had the habit of slamming kitchen cabinets and doors, and they probably had that memory etched in their head. 😂

I personally don't. I used to as a kid/teen. After my mum's grandmother died in the early 90s, all of her loved ones said they heard noises in the kitchen at night, like the way she would bang the cupboards and slam the plates on the sink.

Well when there's one or two, there's probably more. So I started with Linda. Cos she's the only one that I know who is from there or has lived there.

I believe Linda George lives (or lived?) there with her partner

I am at least open and honest of my Zionism. Who gives a shit? A lot of Assyrians on Facebook share my views. Shocking. You can just say you hate Jews (instead of shielding it with "I hate Zionism"). At least I'm admitting my Zionism. God bless the Jews. They just raped Hezbollah and the Iranian...

Aha there you go. So you have problems with Jews, rather than Zionists. Thanks for the Freudian slip. 🤦‍♂️😂 But you seriously suggesting that Jews had power in Iraq 120 years ago when the occupiers were Ottoman Turks (who were very nastily antisemitic)? The paper looks as old as shit and it...

I took a photo of him only with my family and he smiled at the camera. We just nodded. That's as close to him as I've been. :( He's met my parents, sat with them for tea at my relatives house back in 2012. But I wasn't there. 😞

We literally grew up to his music. I thought he'd live for a long time considering his healthy lifestyle. I heard about his cancer in July and I knew straight away that it was a death sentence. He was probably diagnosed with the cancer (glioblastoma) earlier in the year, but he did not want to...

What's with the title of your post? Even the biggest haters of Israel/Zionism still have the intellectually honesty to name "Israel" if they want to address the Israel nation (i.e. Candace Owens). Your post made it sound like Christians are persecuted in the so-called Islamic state of Palestine...

Yep, surprisingly many of these islets or islands near Turkey's west coast are Greek. Because Turks didn't put their hands on them (maybe they've tried). This is because, historically, the far west coast of Turkey was part of ancient Greece. And today they're Turkish occupied lands, including...

Were Kurds here counted under Sunni?

I thought priests don't even dance at all. Could he have been a normal 'shamasha'? Very interesting. You should've taken a pic when you had the chance. 😁

Can you khacha elaborate? What do you mean? Lol

Name is Simon Chlimon. I still don't know how he died (all comments are rest in peace but nothing about the cause of death). Anyone know? Ashoor? I get really distressed and fazed when young Assyrians pass away.

It says the video is unavailable, even on the FB page? Anyway what was this about? Seemed like something intriguing and touchy...

Which reminds me. There is this Christian "meme" (actually it's a parable) that I really like. It's not from the bible. But people have used it. It's called the 'Parable of the Drowning Man':

Lol what? Did I read that right? :ROFLMAO:

I'll still call it (and I'm fine with) Iraq, but I understand those who opt for "Occupied Assyria". So I guess I'm "meh" on this subject. Why? Only because ONLY the northern half of Iraq was ours as our history went. Sumer area in the south is debatable and questionable as I personally don't...

And you say "Georgian Jewish is a fancy word for Ashkenazi", well, Gedmatch USES THE TERM Ashkenazi as well. Why? Because Georgian Jews are pure Middle Eastern Jews. Ashkenazi and Georgian Jewish are NOT the same. Here is a genetic result of an Ash Jew (no fancy words at all, they openly use...

I love Zionism? Omg, really? How did you know? You're a genius wallah. 😅 I think it's pretty obvious that I am a Zionist, in the sense that I will always support the nation of Israel, especially it's surrounded by Islamists who want to wipe it off (with you and I included cos we're...

What an unhinged statement man. I don't understand why are you're so vile towards Israel and Jews. What did the Jews ever do to Assyrians nasha? Be critical of Judaism/Torah as much as you want, but why a democratic nation and the people? And don't bring up ethnic cleansing. Jews have been...

Iraq was 20 years ago. The UN has become more "woke" now and anti-war. I won't be defending UN as it has its own problems, but it's fair to say that they're supporting Palestinians more than usual. Come on. 9,000 of the 34,000 were terrorists btw. Getting killed in the war is not genocide. Only...

And I still stand by that -- The Torah is disgusting (sexist, homophobic, pro-slavery, pro killing and anti-human too in general). Christians should've never made it canon in their holy bible (besides Genesis though).

In all fairness, some folks in the UN have called out Israel for its war crimes and "genocide". What more do you want?

Self-hatred exists man. Chomsky and Finkelstein are leftist American liberals (and have more in common with communism than anything, as they're left wingers). Notice how the most antizionist, self hating Jews are those living in the US for a really long time? Miko Peled, Glen Greenwald? They're...

I thought you made the distinction between Jews and Israelis/Zionists? Why bring Zionism in this nasha? But aha, this kinda proves the point that you antizionists are just anti-Jewish/Jew haters in disguise really. Let's admit this kheena. And nope. "Georgian Jewish" are Judean captives who...

I thought the narrator was you until I realized it was actually AI... 😂 I actually would've preferred to hear an actual human speak as the AI mispronounced some Assyrian words (Madinkaya, instead of Madinkhaya). Anyway, the video is great. Glad it's gotten so many likes already in 1 month.

Who is he? I looked him up and I saw a blonde haired rapper lol

Haven't Iraq, Yemen, Iran and Syria (the countries with "souls" as you put them) ethnically cleansed people too? I just don't see how Israel is the special one here. Besides, Israel ethnically cleansed people in response to the worst terrorist attack in their soil. Anyway my point is most MENA...

Had no idea this bugger was popular in 2010 as well. He supports Hamas and their terrorism with his usual platitudes ("they're freedom fighters"). I will not take him seriously. That said, he is very pleasant to interview. I like his calm quiet nature. But man, he is one insanely self-hating...

Dated thread but in a good way. 😁 Now it's all dark skinned queers on wheelchairs who are saving the world, and the white guys are generally nasty villains. Lmao. I like the Avatar films btw. The second one was even better. Can't wait for the 3rd in Dec 2025.

Shiites has less extremists I think, but that's just like saying bowel cancer is less lethal than pancreatic cancer. But of course there are some good Shiites and Sunnis.

Strange I never saw this thread, as I always had an opinion about her but couldn't express it anywhere as I don't have social media. Honestly, I never understood her humour. This is weird as I love funny women, especially Assyrian women (like our aunt who tell jokes and tease around). Her...

Loool I finally see you talk. Is this on YouTube as well?

If Palestinian supporters use watermelons🍉 to represent the Palestinians, we can use these to represent Assyria: :ROFLMAO:

^I see it lmao

My gedmatch results (since the list on my previous post disappeared):

Ashoor, are you the man in pink shirt in middle? You look like Australian actor Jason Clarke (who is still rising in the US and was recently in Oppenheimer). I wish I was old enough to have been part of this team. Hehehe...And is Mrzurnaci there? I miss that bugger...🤣

I just think the whole world shouldn't breed much. We are getting overpopulated.

9 years after my post (f**ck, 2015 doesn't seem like it's almost a decade ago!)...I walk and do gardening. This has a sense of "gym" for me.

Nasha where are you? I hope you come back. I miss our quarrels and petty bickering. 😅

Are you in your 50s Ashoor? Just curious.

We were speaking about Greater Israel, the vision where it annexes Jordan, Syria and western Iraq. This hasn't happened and never will. Israel just took "spots" in the area. Although they blockaded Gaza (as did Egypt), it isn't occupied by Israel and we both know this (Israel left Gaza in...

In my high school days (during the break), I used to wake up as late as 3pm, though usually 1 to 2pm at latest. Yikes! I didn't get to experience beautiful mornings. Nowadays I wake up at either 8 or 9. Took me many years to learn how to wake up in the morning. I'm glad I changed my high school...

I'm 32 and I still love to learn new things, and study them. Nice post.

Well, either way, I'm heavily against the woke brigade cancelling Easter or any Christian holiday. Lootis or not, these buggers are doing well convincing the government with their protests. I give 'em credit here.

Um, no, many old threads have been removed (for some reason). Half of them are gone. So I was glad that my first ever post/thread was not deleted. This forum is very inactive. Who cares if stuff are bumped? And this thread is very important. Like come on...

Hey! Welcome to the forum. 😊 We should always be open to questioning just about anything in this world. P.S. This thread may look "antichristian" on the surface. I admit, I was more critical of Christianity before. But now I feel like I'm more culturally Christian. Atheists like Richard...

It was shown here at Hoyts cinemas that month. After that, the film's hype went quiet - Will it even come out on streaming services or on Blu-ray? Haven't heard about it since its release...

Don't really like tattoos, but this is nice:

Sorry, I know this is an old post (though not that old for AVN standards). But I gotta take this hogwash on. Only because SonofAssyria's reasonable post was deleted, and it was disheartening to see two antizionists here just dominating this thread (Etain is not an Assyrian btw, but some...

So do Muslims -- Who have more rights in our western countries than WE do in theirs. Btw, this was a religious post. Not sure what gays have to do with anything (not to mention, many queers/gays seem to support your Palestinian cause). 🤷‍♀️

I heard about this, but did Mar Mari HIMSELF confirm this? I still don't quiet believe it as only people are writing and speculating "he lost his eye forever". I mean when I saw him with the eye patch I just thought his eye is injured and will heal soon. Is there a source that legitimately says...

100% I would (as I did with my postman), but what things exactly (as I made several different points up there)? Also, more people agree with me than with you - Not one Assyrian I know says Hamas are "resistance fighters" (lmao). Even regarding Syrian/Iraqi Muslim immigration to Europe, most of...

^It's the hair. Lol. You look like a feminist professor with it. You're good looking btw. (y) (Quote reply is not working btw?)

An addendum: The latest rioter who surrendered to the police is named Nikolaj Mikic. Definitely not an Assyrian. And the guy who fiercely jumped on the car was 'Orjuwan Muthanna Nafea'. Not an Assyrian as well. I'm glad in a way that my people weren't the most vicious ones that night.

There's a reason why there are lists and webpages about "Men who look like old lesbians". 😅 https://menwholooklikeoldlesbians.blogspot.com/ https://www.cracked.com/article_17002_30-more-men-who-look-like-old-lesbians.html https://www.imdb.com/list/ls055235086/

Many of these "poor" Syrian people who fled to Europe are Muslim. Their peaceful poor youth are groping and sexually assaulting European women there. The leftist media there is hiding this fact, just calling them "young men sexually grope women", without mentioning their background. Assyrian men...

He is for love, humanity and peace. He is against children dying first and foremost. But listen from 3:26, he says "if Hamas knew we there...maybe we would've been gone with the wind". Two things can be right at the same time: Innocent Gazan kids dying is terrible and Hamas are evil terrorists...

Took me some time to notice. It's a woman's ear showing with a black earbud (the 'eye' is her left ear with the earphone in). Her hoodie is used towards her face, from the front. So she's wearing her hoodie backwards. I guess she's using her hoodie as an eye mask to sleep.

J Rok, you're a good bloke and we agree usually, but I think we should stop with these vicious name callings. Seems so rampant in our community (with Sally Harb who I admire at times, calling Mar Mari demonic and a son of Satan in her videos), and now people calling another bishop Lucifer. Oh...

Yep, in total agreement here...Acting like monkeys won't get us anywhere. Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword. And yes, many of these violent protesters were Lebanese and Egyptian youth looking to make trouble with the cops (since they listen to hip hop and well, rap is all "fuck...

This guy is a buffoon. A male equivalent of a bimbo. A total hypocrite. So...he's telling us to not kill each other, and in the same breath he wants us to do revenge killing? Such logic. Stick with Arabic stuff habibi. You really doesn't make sense, Yonan. Also, his videos are very Iraqi in...

Just a peaceful Muslim doing his job according to the good book of his. The hell with the media for not pointing the act for what it really is - An Islamic terrorist event. They were too afraid to mention it, even though the terrorist rat screamed "allahu akbar" and then said "if he didn't...

Omg Anton is your nephew? He's very down to earth and nice. Met him at church and he was such a pleasant character. Bless his soul. His father is Anglo Australian, and yet he speaks Assyrian fluently. How close are you guys?

Not just a kiss, but full on fornicating. But I can't tell which one is the guy and which is the girl. Lol

Well, ISIS got their weapons from many countries including the UK, USA, Russia, China, Germany and France. Yes, your Russia too. But this doesn't mean these countries are the culprits, just irresponsible. It was inadvertent. Israel had nothing to do with supplying weapons btw. Weapons have...

Actually, those that died were Latino truck drivers. As for the last part, I hope you're joking. Lol.

Yeah, I also don't think 'ISIS-proper' were behind the attacks. But it was certainly those who jerk off to ISIS, Hamas, Taliban and all that khara. Did you see their faces? The attackers looked Middle Eastern, not Ukrainian. They were even reciting the Quran in the videos whilst brandishing...

Err yeah...his channel ain't showing. Just click on it...Link is dead And stop this wokie thing. You remind me of Joe, the guy who was really nasty to me and always brought up my stances on things when the the topic had nothing to do with it. Just don't go there. We can disagree with each other...

Any news on deaths? 6 were presumed dead but that was just one source. I think it was an accident.

Very late reply here, but else do you guys cover? Some conspiracy theories I really despise and cannot take seriously. But I'll wait for your response. Hopefully you are still active here...

Putin think it's Ukraine. Islamic apologists and other conspiracy theorists blame Israel and even the US. Even though the perpetrators look Middle Eastern, have Islamic names and are ethnically Tajik (In addition to ISIS-K claiming responsibility). As for Putin blaming Ukraine, I think he is...

Why is ISIS Israeli? Maybe they're an indigenous Muslim resistance to the Kurds and the (moderate) Arabs there, much like Hamas. 🙃😏 Let's be consistent with that logic. Maybe ISIS have suffered so much under the hands of Iraqis, Syrians and Christians there. So they need to resist?....Oh wait...

Shocking, but in a way they need that rain (for water). That region is too dry.

This is beautiful!

Funnily enough, the Irish are pretty woke overall, much like most of northern Europe. And what's so special about the Irish? South Africa supports Palestine too, the country with the most racist RECENT history. What's your point? And even Ireland had a really bloody past in recent history. Funny...

What year was this exactly? Different video titles display 1987, 1988 & 1989. I'm so petty and pedantic when it comes to years as each year is its own unique thing.

To play the devil's advocate here, I wish we know the other side of the coin. There's these usual "Kurds do this to Assyrian group/village" stories that appear from time to time and Assyrians would be fumed about. Is there a cause to all this? Something tells me that there is provocation here...

Thanks aziza! A terrible stomach infection that lasted for weeks which got me anorexic and ghoulish looking, followed by my beloved grandma's death (she was 69, that's like middle ages by today's standards). Horrific times.

Man this thread was posted during the darkest days of my life (Jul-Aug 2008). Alah la makhzeelokhon aneh yomaneh

So surprised that Spain was low (I expected a very liberal/woke country to be this low like Sweden or Norway). Southern Europeans have a lot of rich culture and history. So it makes sense for them to have superiority complex over other nations.

In the 2021 census, 40,218 persons were Assyrian and 21,166 identified themselves as having Chaldean ancestry. This gives a total of 61,000 or so Assyrian people (including Chaldeans), as that total counts both groups - So it's fairly accurate (at that time). Yes, by now in 2024, I think we may...

Strawman. How am I woke? Wokes and CNN are siding with Palestinians. Christians/conservatives are more on the Israel train. And you sound like you have Al Jazeera bias, la? Look, whether you're Palestinian, Israeli or Afghan, whatever tookhma, I will be nice to you if you're nice to me (like my...

Yep. And look at that ocean between southern Australia and Antarctica. It's no wonder why we (well Melbourne) can have cool 14C days in summer that Toronto would rarely see in July. Polar blasts reach us so easily. Sydney thankfully is protected by the mountain range, so we get a foehn effect...

Also, Perth is the most isolated city in the world. The closest city to it outside of Australia is Jakarta. And yeah, Australia is pretty huge. Just as big as contiguous US.

The convo was rushed and he had to leave quickly as he was in the middle of his job. Say, I wonder how your reaction would be like if your postman was Israeli? I have a feeling you wouldn't even look at his face. But I digress. 😅 -Kuwaitis did not have ISIS-like terrorists raping, killing and...

Love this analytical response Ashur. A very fair and rational view of the conflict (since people nowadays are extremely one-sided about it - I do admit that I'm like 90% on Israel side of things).... It's the leftists (Greta Thunberg) and these Islamists like Mohammad Hijab (nasty fella) that...

I have no idea, but they're likely from Sydney.

Here is a better quality:

Uploaded by none other than 'Era Javukh' 🤣

That was so ridiculous and silly. 😅 Let's hope it won't become a trend.

Assyrians get mad when our church leaders meet and shake hands with Kurdish politicians in Iraq (which I really don't care about tbh, as we do need to be diplomatic when it comes to politics). But I personally get a bitter taste in my mouth when our churchmen meet up with Islamic leaders (he may...

Can @ASHOOR comment on this? Really curious to know his opinion. Also for the sake of keeping conversations active on this forum, aaand the fact that us three are the only active ones here. 😁

Australia is the best country in the world. But at the same time, we are a pussy nation, from our media to the police. Our cops arrest well-intentioned people (actually, apprehend them if you prefer) who would go and face the nasty, wicked crowd of people who support terrorism and whatnot. Why...

I don't get my news from CNN or BBC, which are woke tripe. How many times do I have to say this? I could throw it back at you and say you get your news from Islamic propagandist Al Jazeera and The Young Turks (because most of what you say goes hand in hand with their content). You even sound...

Good one....Lol never thought of it

He sounds better here than on live.

I also heard of him recently. He interviews influential and popular figures (recently he did Mar Mari and that sakheef Andrew Tate). He isn't Assyrian-centric, but he does mention his Assyrianism and Christianity. PBD Podcast has close to 250K+ followers These letters stand for Patrick Bet...

He was good friends with my uncle back in the 1970s and early 80s. His mother would come to our house and ask my grandma for "boosleh" (onions). He taught the Assyrian language to my mum's. Today, he has done so much for the Assyrian community - the construction of churches and as well as...

I could imagine what they're saying. 😅 "Off monshelee telephony!" "Kela Nahren?" "Yala morqelan!" "Nasheh jojen khacha, dokh dwaqoo jada!"

Yeah, I think Melbourne cos the hall doesn't look familiar for it to be Sydney. The keyboardist is from Sydney though (Remon).

Yeah, this song's everywhere. I cannot stand it to be honest. Its melody is cringe. I realized the "sadry" part, I thought he was telling her to not place her hand on his chest (alasas she's all over him and girls these days have more entitlement to do this). Lmao. But now, since she is the one...

Can somebody update the list now after 8 years?

Chicago and Detroit yes, but Boston and "others"? To be fair, there are hardly any Assyrians in Boston and by others you mean NYC? I don't think the convention will work in those places if there aren't many Assyrians there.

He's a handsome chap and I wish him the best. But to be honest, he has major competition with Emmanuel Romanous and Shlama Cast as they're relatively successful Youtube Assyrian channels which have a similar subject matter (Assyrian interviews). Sharo's channel started with Assyrian history...

As a gardener, I'm looking forward to finally receiving a plant that is propagated specially for me by a guy from Queensland. Let's hope he won't forget about me. 😂

I wish I can find his name. Sally doesn't mention names because she doesn't want to make it like she's "attacking" them personally. Yeah, she's pretty savage and on point. Ashurists hate her so much.

I watched Contagion back in 2015 and dear lord was it boring. Only Kate Winslet carried the film. But after rewatching it in post COVID, it actually made more sense and was interesting to the least considering how it echoed the real life pandemic.

A Great Movie Symbolic Of Today's World That would be The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Good versus evil. It's all fantasy, but yes, it applies. I see it as an allegory. The orcs remind me of ISIS and terrorists in general. The elves, men and dwarves can play as UK, AUS and the US.

First relief looks so excellently preserved. Wow!

1000 character limit up there...So this is continued... I'm just stating historical facts (of course, I'm happy to be corrected and I can concede when I'm wrong). I still think you're focusing on Zionism too much. What about Arab/Islamic militants expelling them out violently? Our Arab brothers...

Really? This is sourced all over, from both left and right wing outlets. They declined a two state solution. Why? Because they want all the land, not just the West Bank. It's riqiyoota to the core. Heck, even this Nigerian media outlet talks about it. It's a world-known fact...

Israel had provided them a state of their own but they rejected it many times. It's not really about double standards, considering one group terrorizes by beheading, burning, raping and stabbing, and the other drops bombs in defense (and actually warns people to get out). But let's think for a...

This is something a white Karen would do in California. Lol

No one made a thread on this yet. Which makes sense because the forum is hardly active. So I really had to create one. I think Israel should continue the ceasefire, just so that the Hamas monsters can release more of the poor hostages. Whilst I can sympathize with Gazans, except that when I see...

ANTIFA is disgusting, just as bad as far-right Neo Nazis. Same shit, different smell, really. Funny, these wokes think that us minorities are with them because alasas they defend us. Most minorities find them repulsive. At a Pro-Palestine march in London, a transgender activist thug was...

I'm all for Musk, but nasha I can't stand the new name X. What was wrong with 'Twitter' yeni?

Oh yeah, this Protestant lady (Sally Harb) is not a very big fan of his: :LOL: God she's savage.🤯

One of her many videos (although this is not edited by her, as she has her own channel). What are your thoughts? I love her content.

I actually like his jokes and humour. I agreed with him a lot about the COVID vaccinations and the conspiracies behind that.

History in the making here. 😜One of the very few instances where I agree with you Bani (okay maybe besides the "messed up lifestyle" part). But yeah, apparently the LGBT community should feel sorry for Islam and Muslims because alasas they are suppressed minorities in the west. Therefore we must...

Iraqis and just Middle Easterners in general scoff and sneer at 'safety'. It's laughable. My dad was surprised to see workers wearing helmets when he came to Australia, where he laughed and said "look at these soft men, back at home we'd work without helmets". It is this toxic behaviour that has...

She and her twin Margo had the same kidney condition. Her twin Margo passed away in 2017 with the same disease (I believe I made a thread on her here?) I thought Marian would overcome it because they did use prevention strategy so she won't get worse like her sister - She got a new kidney and...

A month later and I'm still affected by this horrific tragedy.

Nasha what do you stand for already? You (rightfully) screamed about human rights in Palestine and Tibet, yet now you're discreetly shitting on homosexuals. You can be khacha hypocritical at times. "Human rights" is important to you only when it fits your narrative, la? There was a vicious user...

First people cheering us? Maybe your Palestinian friends would, but not Palestinians themselves as they don't even know or care about us. Just because you have good friends that are Palestinian who support your cause, that doesn't mean we should be supporters of their respective countries. It's...

I know a few Edmons and Ronnies.

I deem myself a cultural Christian too. ;)

This was my first thread, guys. Glad it's still up. 😇

We are the last of our kind 🙃😁

Me too. Not into it at all. Tiktok videos make me so dizzy btw

May he rest in peace. Was he like a first cousin? I heard about this on Facebook and I was shocked that they didn't cover it much -- Since, in recent years (from 2016 onwards), younger Assyrians who pass away are posted in Facebook frequently and their funeral is filmed. This was a "quiet" one...

I never got vaxxed and I caught it too last month after never getting it before. I thought I'd never get it, but my sister had to come to our house and give it to me. Lmao. I was bad in the first four days. Chills, body aches, severe headaches (first day), no appetite and very mild fever (first...

Can't believe I didn't hear about this one. Any updates on this? Why was he killed and was he in a gang?

As much as I am not the biggest fan of conspiracy theories, I do however have an inkling that the moon landings were fake. That's the only conspiracy theory that I sort of believe.

^If I disliked Jews and Israel, I wouldn't give them that much credit. Like, they must be behind everything? I'm sorry but conspiracy theorists remind me of far-right rednecks who are always afraid and insecure because "demm blacks takin ourrr jahhbs". Enough of this. Criticize any nations and...

Ashoor, have you had COVID? Or anyone here? I just had it in late July this year. Lol. It actually wasn't too bad -- I've had worse flues.

The guy needs a professional doctor, not a bishop. But unfortunately, mentally challenged people cannot be cured (for the most part). His parents should accept him the way he is, to be perfectly honest.

I missed it here in sydney 😫

He looks like someone from a 90s boyband. Impressive indeed. Even speaks with a tyari accent. lol

You nailed it on the head. The classic Assyrian dialect was very Urmian in the 1970s music I noticed, until it got more Iraqi Koine by the 1990s and 2000s, and now it's very mixed with the village dialects. That said, singers still use the standard Assyrian dialect in love songs.

Yeah, soft rock is nice. Something like this: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ge1yWot4cE

His YouTube channel has his old songs, so you can check that one out

My parents, who grew up in the 70s and 80s in Iraq, listened to or were aware of The Bee Gees, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Prince, George Michael, Annie Lenox, Madonna, Queen, Lionel Richie, Julio Iglesias, Diana Ross, Abba, Elvis Presley (and some others I forgot). I disagree with Assyrians...

Not a sports fan, but this news made me happy. I wish Australia does good in soccer. I honestly can't stand our 'traditional' sports here (rugby, AFL, cricket). They're such bores. Let's hope one day soccer will be our national sport. ;)

It sounds so familiar actually. Definitely not something that is unheard of. Someone's definitely whispered it around me.

I like that he has some conservatism and had deviated from the current western ideology, but he is way too religious and traditional for my liking. He is the exact opposite of a far-left woke person. A little moderation is key here. And I agree with what Ashoor said, there was absolutely no...

Congrats Ashoor. I just wish this forum was active again. God I miss the mid 2010s when a few of us were still here and making threads.

I can do that for a dare and if rescue is guaranteed. :LOL:

Netflix (shared with my sister's family so they pay for it :cool:) and Disney + (which I pay for)

Hm. So it looks like people enjoy "doing it" at Christmas or New Year. Very romantic and cute if you ask me. ;) Is it the cold weather that gets them cuddly or they just enjoy making love in the holiday season? 😁

That's disturbingly high. But sometimes I think these numbers are highly exaggerated. People just die from "normal" diseases and the doctors slap "COVID" as the cause of death. I mean, I don't know...

I hope this Joe kid has changed. God he was one vicious and arrogant user. Lol. And is Etain still here?

I believe the Syriac letters correspond to the English. Like the L and Lamed, S and Samket, A and Alep, etc, are on the same position. Pretty neat and handy.

It's scary. As much as I am against superstition, I'm starting to believe it. It's amazing how one young Assyrian man dies, and a few after follow him. Like, shemet alah...o_O😧

She is a gem. Reminds me of Urhay Odisho. We need more female artists like these. :love:

My respect for this amazing Kurdish singer for pulling off a great Assyrian accent for this beautiful song:

The lyrics, the melody and the overall tone of the music have dissipated nowadays. The lyrics are all about mathwatha, reqtha, peda, shushla, hola thela men turaneh (*insert nonstop screeching zurna on top of those lyrics*) and all those tribal themes. Another thing, most melodies and lyrics...

Come back Mrzurnaci, we miss you! 😭

He is a Nochiyaya from Iraq, but he does have a penchant for singing Iranian music and would prefer them over Arabic music - Not sure why. Lol. His accent is very Urmi in his songs for sure, so I get why people would mistake him for an Iranaya. This is also one of his good songs:

I'm not a soccer person, but I really do respect Messi and Ronaldo as great players of our time. I find it really funny when Real Madrid and Barcelona fans make fun of their opponent players (reminds me of the whole Biden/democratic vs Trump/republican thing in a way Lmao). We should admit that...

Poor man. I can't imagine how his family is feeling right now. Even the cop in the video was crying and devastated for his loss. He was recovered 128 feet (39 meters) of water (Geneva Lake). He was "tubing" and his lifejacket was not secure. I'm amazed at how nobody quickly noticed he was...

An Assyrian friend of mine (and as well as his a couple of his friends) had the virus months ago, as did my relatives. It seems like people mostly recover from it.

This applies to Australia, because the desert is hostile, waterless and uninhabitable.

I heard he was cut in pieces. Disgusting that Assyrians are capable of doing this. It's so cruel and disgusting nasha. It has gotten worse throughout the 2010s. There was a slight lull in the 2000s though. But in 2010s Assyrian gang violence peaked again and the 2020s don't look that good as...

Their reaction made me laugh and angry at the same time. First off, that "Shemet baba" hymn already has that so-called, danceable Georgina rhythm. Have you guys even listened to it? It has a groove to it... :LOL:🤦‍♂️ Second of all, Protestants dance and jump around to hymns about Jesus...
