I am quickly losing respect for most Assyrians who are pretending to be deaf, blind, and mute about our people's plight in Jordan and Syria.

I know I'm not the only one, because I receive hundreds of e-mails per week from Assyrians who are NOT religious but hold a special love for humanity in their hearts, and are totally SICKENED by what is going on in Assyria! Like me, they are FED-UP with the nonsense that is going on over the Assyrian Airwaves, as they watch the Assyrian mass-media focus on ONE church and its problems, and that church only represents about 30% of the Assyrians around the world. There are ALL SORTS of Assyrians who are being marginalized and no longer represented nor served by these airwaves. How tragic we have become!!!

I can't say I blame those who are losing patience and respect, as we lose their support for whatever is left of Assyria. I can totally identify with their complaints. I consider myself very nationalistic and come from a very nationalistic household and want to contribute to Assyria but there's nothing there for me anymore. I am not a member of the ACOE church so none of the dominating issues on the Assyrian airwaves have ANYTHING to do with me and my needs as an Assyrian! Yet I have to constantly be subjected to this rubbish every time I decide to turn on an Assyrian station. I ask myself: Is what is going on fair to ME? I could CARE LESS about the church issue. Let the church folks duke it out in court! I care about what is happening to our Assyrian refugees NOW. They are dying physically and spiritually because they have run out of options. Instead of SATURATING us with church issues, these people can be helping ease the suffering of the Assyrian refugees who literally STUCK on the edge of humanity!

Our political leaders have failed them. Our church leaders have failed them. Do you think our starving people CARE about the church and Mar this and Mar that, on their way to the grave, knowing NOT ONE Assyrian organization or eeta GAVE A DAMN ABOUT THEM!!!!

Assyria and God have become BIG business!!! Assyrian organizations/churches are thriving from the money they collect from our poor people and widows. My God I was flabbergasted when I saw the millions of dollars in profit from ONE organization in Illinois, while our people are starving in Jordan and Syria!

SHAME ON EVERY ASSYRIAN who claims to be "Christian" or "Nationalistic". YOu are ALL liars!!! You cannot possibly be either a Nationalist or Christian when you can't open your heart to ONE Assyrian who needs you right NOW!!!

The Armenian churches have divisions too. But the Armenians gather MILLIONS every year for Armenia, even though they live better in Armenia than the average Assyrian refugge in Syria and Jordan! During the Lebanese civil war, Armenian churches united in spite of their differences, and helped EVERY Armenian refugee that was stuck in Lebanon. Thousands upon thousands of Armenian families arrived in the United States during the 1970's and early 1980's through the Armenian churches.

I cannot help everyone in Syria and Jordan. I can only help my cousin and his family of 6 who are stuck in Jordan, and my other cousin who has a family of 4 stuck in Syria. Whatever I send my cousins, they share the food they are able to purchase with their Assyrian neighbors, because they cannot sleep at night listening to the cries of a hungry child next door.

I am TRULY ashamed to be an Assyrian right now!!!!

Alaha pakhilokhon kollokhon!
