You are waving the flag of our killers... why?

The natives in the US have more rights than Assyrians in Iraq today.
At least the natives are considered as the indigenous people,
In Australia aboriginals have many government benefits and rights including land.
On every Australian government building you will see an aboriginal flag next to it.
Yes 1933 was a long time ago but we are fighting the same fight today.

From what you wrote under your nickname, it seems that you meant Freedom / Liberation (Kheeroota) .

This is not the first time that the issue, of raising an Iraqi flag but not an Assyrian one, has been brought up and this is not the first time that many try to find ways to defend the use of an Iraqi flag which under many regimes before suppressed the Assyrian identity, history and culture and considered it only as a religious sect, just like al-Maliki couple years ago considered what they like to call "the Christians" as a "jaliya" (meaning a foreign gathering living in a country which is not theirs) then he put a s... in his mouth and later said that he did not mean to say that.

Under the current modified flag, the so-called new Iraqi constitution was drafted and in it, the Assyrians were stripped of their identity as the indigenous people of the land today called Iraq and of their existence giving the credit to arabs and kurds who do not even belong in that land.

Or the kurds who keep on saying that they welcome "the Christians" who are moving to the north (Occupied Assyria) as if those lands are theirs. Then we have people who go out on demonstrations carrying the current Iraqi flag which has a phrase on it that muslims use whenever they slaughter whether be it a sheep or a human being, and for those who will like to say the phrase means that God is Great and that we use it as well, to those we say God did not instruct to slaughter humans using his title.


Those who are saying that raising the Iraqi flag is to tell the arabs and kurds that we are not against them, well that's just political correctness which did not bring us any thing except tragedies upon tragedies from those militias and warlords who are governing the so-called new Iraq today.

Lastly, I do not know when those who are hiding their heads in the sand like ostriches will admit that being politically correct with any one who is against the Assyrian identity and existence is only bringing further marginalization and loss to the Assyrian Nationality. 


I join my voice to yours and say NO to raising any flag under which the Assyrians were oppressed no matter where we were born, we should always think we are Assyrians first who are being stripped of our dignity, freedom, lands, identity and existence in order to give advantage to our oppressors who include the western countries which are a direct partner in the calamities befalling the Assyrians (all denominations).

I liked your post alot but i dont think that we as an oppressed nation should raise any flag other than the assyrian flag. We dont need flags that do not contain the star of sargon, ashur above and red,blue,white, gold colors.

Dude, the flag says Allahu Akbar on it, if you lived in Iraq I could understand with all the pressure and all, but protests in the diaspora should not carry this crappy flag that has Arab Islamic symbols all over it, what part of "This flag does not represent us in any way or fashion" do you not get? If you really wanna carry an Iraqi flag so bad, carry one that actually included us in it as part of the country, like this one:

In what manner does this flag carry a representation for us ? Is it the green and black which are islamic colours ? Or the sort of sun which is used by kurds ? the other colour is the white which in this case represents any thing .

Thanks and I did not say any thing else other than raising only the Assyrian Flag, I do not know why you thought differently.

In any case ... Kheerouta qa Araa d Ashur Zobtanta

I thought differently because when you said "I join my voice to yours and say NO to raising any flag under which the Assyrians were oppressed"
so when you said it in that way i got the impression of you thinking that raising an american flag would be ok, since they havent oppressed us (directly).


Or the sort of sun which is used by kurds ?

hahaha, nina :D think you have to think twice... that "kurdish sun" is actually the star of Ishtar. (see here: http://www.google.dk/images?q=star%20of%20ishtar&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:da:eek:fficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=da&tab=wi&biw=1680&bih=869)

but yea... i totally agree with you then!
