The Aramaic Wire ܣܘܪܝܐ@AramaicWire
The Assyrians are the oldest people in the world, older even then the Jewish nation, and they speak Aramaic, Christ's tongue. Their civilization predates Christianity itself. They built a Church that spread Christianity to China & India.
What did we do to them? Iraq War -> Gone.
1.5m -> 150,000 in Iraq. Let alone Turkey, let alone Syria, let alone Iran.
The Maronites are the oldest Christians in the Levant. The cedar that built the Temple is found in their homeland. They were the backbone of the French-Lebanese project, they were the pillar of its prosperity & stability.
What happened to them? In 1932, they were a majority; now they are becoming a besieged minority, stuck between the IDF & Hezbollah.
The Christian communities of Syria are a mosaic of the oldest Christians in the world. The Christians of Antioch. Aramaic speakers, Greek speakers, Arabic speakers. From Orthodox to Catholic to Syriac. Literally the land of the Apostles.
What happened to them? Civil war (a proxy war). 2m in 2011 -> 500,000 today.
Why are we allowing this to happen?
Why does our conscience not ache?
Why are we voting in "Christian" politicians who ignore the greatest tragedy in all of Christendom?
