Discussion Hawpa disbanded, hate still active Spoiler
Shlama fellow brothers and sisters,
I’m not sure what flare this falls under but as a lot of other Assyrians may have heard, there was recently a far-right Neo-Nazi group in Kurdistan that operated for 6 years before being banned in January of this year. This group called for the complete genocide of all Assyrians and Turkmen within the region. As an Assyrian who has great grandparents who survived Seyfo and the Simele Massacre (as well as relatives in Syria that were forced to flee ISIS) I feel like it is impossible to just let this go. It is never “edgy” or “quirky” politics to call for the extermination of specific groups. Even though they have been banned I feel we need to remain vigilant for our relatives who reside in the region and for diaspora communities near these degenerates.
The reason I made this post is that I recently went on a variety of their telegram chats to see that they are still very much active. They demonise us, ridicule us and call for killings against us. And yes, despite calling for the genocide himself, the cowardly leader was quick to backtrack and claim “he never did”. However he is one of the creators/mods of this group chat.
Some may say to not take their words to heart but I feel we should take every word seriously. The region is facing ongoing instability and as we know, war and conflict is the biggest agitator of genocide.
Below are some of the heinous things they have posted/said. I wasn’t able to include everything because these cowards blocked screenshots so I had to find ways that wouldn’t black out the screen without joining. I also included some of the stuff he said on twitter. Just a warning that it may be disturbing (especially the last image).

I’m just glad the group finally got banned. I was unaware of that.

It’s one thing to be a neo Nazi and another thing to be a middle eastern “oppressed” stateless neo nazi minority lol

And this, friends, is why civic nationalism will not work in the Middle East. The lamb and wolf cannot vote as equals on the question of who gets eaten if the lamb wants to survive.

My brother, this is simply part of a Kurdish mentality. This mentality doesn't believe in the land of Assyria or the Assyrian people. You'll say that what happened to them was resolved by working to liberate the land of Assyria and imposing Assyria on them by force. Then they will retreat and beg.

Don’t stereotype all Kurds as the same. They are 45 million people

Now not that I support this at all but Agha petros slaughtered shikaks tribe and their subsequently inhabited villages, kidnapped his mom and his sister if im not mistaken. This was in revenge for killing the bishop.

It's insane how many Assyrians don't give half a crap about our nation and also don't understand how there's people who hate us for simply existing.

Replying to ur deleted comment Turks and Azeris your allies claim 500k + it’s proven Sayfo was 250k-300k so who is doing the wrong numbers now? Also remember what happened in the Surchi Revolt? 😹

What’s sad is this mentality is very prevalent in their communities in different degrees. You constantly see it online. Yet many will still deny it and cry “why do you hate us?” As if the anger is targeted at all of them.
- Denial of Seyfo or distancing themselves from it (“it was only some Kurdish tribes”)
- Denying the existence of our native and ethnic identity
- Claiming that if it wasn’t for them Isis would have killed more Assyrians (ignoring that they forcefully disarmed Assyrians and then abandoned our villages in the middle of the night running from Isis) - a worse example is when they say things like “you’re lucky we let you live on “our” land”
This will only get worse with time as they are getting bolder and more ignorant. The KRG school curriculum teaches a fictional history about their people and paints us as foreigners among other things.
