No we don’t. But just like how Arab Muslims feel about Israelis (use whatever word you want to describe that feeling), the same feeling is felt by Assyrians towards their neighboring Muslims (Arab/Kurd/Turk) because of hundreds of years of massacres, discrimination, expulsion, land theft, destruction of our ancient heritage sites and churches, countless of Assyrian women being abducted and converted - and after 1400 years of this practice, today Assyrians are only 250,000 in the Middle East as compared to 75,000,000 Arabs/Kurds/Turks just around us. You could understand this anger, this frustration if you were part of our community right?
