Hey Guys check out this five parted Interview by SBS Radio with an Semitic lingualistical professor from Tel Aviv ( I think an assyrian Radio programm in Austraia???). Anyway I found it pretty interesting, you might want to have a look into it.

He also is beeing asked how much influence there is of akkadian language in our current language. Besides that the moderator ask for "fun", if the Jews do really dislike assyrians and if they are working activly against any assyrian indeependce aspirations. (this is just a mans opinion)

To video 1: What does he say about new words like computer?

To video 2: KHUBA QA OMTAN! That?s the key to our homeland ;)

To video 4: But Germany has today no responsibility towards Israel ... but they still pay every year millions of Euros to Israel and German politicans still claim that they have this "responsibility" ... crazy. Only some intellectual German politicans who are pensionary, e.g. Helmut Schmidt, dare to say that ... and these politicans were never and are not political right.
... And all these museums and pictures are instrumentalised to create more and more feelings of guilt to make them paying every year this money and support them in political issues. And not only that, if you visit in German schools the history lessons from class 5 until 10 and partly 13 you become "bombed" with this world war stuff.

(I don?t say that Israelis make this or that because I know too less about this topic but I know enough to know that there are reasons which can speak in favor and against this "conspiracy").

To video 5: And because of this huge Akkadian influence we have not just because of political but also because of scientifically linguistically reasons the right to call our language ASSYRIAN! :)

I didn't hear the host ask that.  I'm assuming you're refering to clip #5.  He just asked what do you think about the people, not necessarily Israelis, who claim that today's Assyrians aren't related to the ancient Assyrians.  Among a few other things he replied that he personally feels that everyone is entitled to "self-determination".

Ah, okay. We say to computer "Hashowo" in western Assyrian ... pretty interesting how much our languages are related to each other.

I think they've already coined a term for it.  It's called "khashuwa" or as Zawoyo said in the Western dialect, "Hashowo".  But we still use "computer", right?  It's much easier for, say, a Hebrew speaker living in Israel or a Greek speaker living in Greece to adopt a newly coined term when they are educated in their native tongue and see the word written on a regular basis like we do with English.  But when you have a stateless people like us, well, ... anything goes.

By the way, he is not saying they use 'Khashev' for 'Computer' in Israel, he is saying we say computer even though we have our own word.

No.  You're wrong.  He did not say they use the word "computer" in Israel.  He said they use "khashev".  Go listen to it again.  It begins at mark 8:05 in the first video.
