Do not block people instead mute them so they waste their time thinking you see their comments. It’s much satisfying and sinister.

The Chaldean catholic cathedral of our lady of sorrows, in the Kirkuk Citadel
I’m the late 90s (1997-1998) saddams government demolished most of the Kirkuk citadel claiming it’s a “beautification project” to restore the citadel, displacing families that lived inside of it for thousands of years including Turkmens, Chaldeans/Assyrians and Kurds.
This is terrorism, all that was left is a bunch for scattered buildings including the remains of a mosque, Cathedral and an ottoman turkmen cemetery.
في أواخر التسعينيات (1997-1998)، هدمت حكومة صدام معظم قلعة كركوك بحجة أنها "مشروع تجميل" لإعادة ترميم القلعة، مما أدى إلى تشريد عائلات سكنت القلعة لآلاف السنين، من بينهم تركمان وكلدان/آشوريون وأكراد.
هذا إرهاب، ولم يتبقَّ سوى بعض المباني المتناثرة، بما في ذلك بقايا مسجد وكاتدرائية ومقبرة تركمانية عثمانية.

Šuriaš was a Kassite name for their sun god (equated with Šamaš), attested in royal names like Šagarakti-Šuriaš. Correct on that point.
The name Syria is not from Šuriaš. Mainstream scholarship derives it from Assyria (Akkadian Aššūrāyu), confirmed by the Çineköy inscription equating Luwian Sura/i with Assur.
Kassites originated in the Zagros; their language is unclassified (isolate or possibly Hurro-Urartian), not Indo-European. Claims they are direct ancestors of the Kurds remain speculative nationalist interpretations, not scholarly consensus.
Kurds share an ancient linguistic, genetic, and cultural origin with Persians and other Iranians therefore they are Iranian people. “You started it I’ll finish it ” great leader and brightest minds in history
most DNA tests group Norwegians and Swedes together under a broad regional label like "Scandinavian", much like how Kurds and Persians are often grouped together under "Iranian, Caucasian & Mesopotamian 🤫🤡
.
answer me, Norwegians are swedish ?😂

Kurds are Iranian ethnic group because they are member of Iranian peoples like Persians that’s established fact. Kurdistan is Persianate term that’s established fact. Ancient Medes were ancient Iranian people which you claimed to be descendants of which makes you Iranians like Persians that’s established fact. I’m not attacking Kurds btw.
My Kurdish friend You will stop your attacks on Syriac Orthodox Church and its leaders. This type of sick conduct will not be tolerated answer with appropriate measures. Why does your screenshot look like ChatGPT chat ? That black is identical to ChatGPT interface. If this was significant of case with such allegations why nothing pulls up on google ? Please stop spreading misinformation against Syriacs have some shame

Kurds have never wiped out Chaldeans and Assyrians. This is quite silly to be bragging about since you claimed to be oppressed by Turkiye

That’s false
Adiabene-Assyrians (Semites) still retained their proper regions in the upper Tigris zone (Plutarch, Strabo..)
Chaldeans-Babylonians (Semites) also continued within their respective regions in south Mesopotamia according to ancient scholars Strabo, Ptolemy..

MyHeritage lacks a proper Assyrian category, so it dumps results into Armenian/Jewish/Syriac buckets. G25 and ancient DNA show modern Assyrians cluster closest to Neo-Assyrian era samples (Bakr Awa, Batman). Strong northern Mesopotamian continuity, limited post-Islamic Arabian input from endogamy. Iraqi Arabs carry a solid local base mixed with Levantine, Iranian and Arabian. No one is 100% pure after millennia.

Assyrians are an ethnicity: Britannica and genetic studies treat them as a distinct Neo-Aramaic-speaking people with Mesopotamian continuity. Chaldeans and Arameans/Syriacs share the same origins, language family, and genetics; name preferences track church lines more than separate ethnic roots. The "imposition of fake identity" claim is one side of a real intra-community dispute, not established fact.

Prof Geoffrey Khan:
1. "The Northeastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA) speaking Christians mostly belong to either the Assyrian Church of the East, or Chaldean Church. The south-western periphery of the NENA area (i.e Nineveh Plains: Bartella, Bakhdida) are Syriac Orthodox or Catholic.

Historic bilingualism of Akkadian & Aramaic which relates to Assyrian linguistic continuity of present dialects 'Northeastern Neo-Aramaic' (NENA)
A clipped version of the lecture, Assyrian Renaissance: Assyrians & Aramaic - Dr. Jonathan Valk
Kurds are Iranian ethnic group. This is established fact it’s not theory but established fact.

The claim is false. Modern Assyrians are a recognized ethnic group of roughly 3–5 million people native to northern Mesopotamia (Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Iran) with a global diaspora. They maintain distinct Neo-Aramaic dialects, Syriac Christian traditions, cultural institutions, and high endogamy. Genetic studies show them clustering separately from Kurds, Arabs, and Armenians with continuity to Iron Age Mesopotamian populations. Language shifted from Akkadian to Aramaic centuries before the empire’s fall; this does not erase the people.
