Tror du verkligen att kristna kommer att få något i Mellanöstern? Kurder som är muslimer blir mördade och ni hoppas på det bästa? Varför vänder ni er inte till Israel? De kristna i Libanon och Israel uppskattar judar och ni har mer gemensamt än med muslimerna.
Kristna i Syrien kommer få det bättre precis som i Irak om Kurderna skapar sin autonomi på nytt som förstördes.
Själv tror jag att Kristna (Assyrer) i Irak så har dom störst chans och få något och det genom Kurdistan.
Om dom blir "inbjudna" in i Kurdistan och sedan gör en folkomröstning om dom vill bli självständiga eller fortgå inom Kurdistan.
In a July 3 meeting with PRT and US Army civil affairs personnel, Mayor of Tal Kaif District Basim Bello said Assyrians in Ninewa Province feel intimidated by the Kurds and suffer from a lack of essential services. Bello said the solution lies in the inclusion of all groups in the provincial government. .
He said civil rights protections for Christians will continue to be a concern whether predominantly Christian areas remain part of Ninewa or join the KRG. He reiterated his party's position that the Christian areas of Ninewa should form an autonomous region under Article 125 of the constitution.

"Kurdistan has flourished in a part of the world rife with instability and misery. Today, Kurdistan boasts internal stability and security and reflects the American spirit of inclusion and tolerance. Kurdistan is one of the few places in the region where Muslims, Christians and Jews are living openly and comfortable side by side, without the fear of oppression or subjugation."

There are many reasons to support the Kurdish requests. First, in sharp contrast to
the conflict in Syria and others in Iraq, Libya, and Sudan, in which the U.S. has had a hard time separating the “good” (moderate, reliable, pro-Western) from the “bad” combatants, the Kurds are a reliable partner while ISIS and its Sunni allies are among its fiercest enemies.
The Iraqi Kurds are solidly pro-West, stable, democratic, and protective of Christian and Yazidi minorities. Kurdistan was the one part of Iraq where the U.S. suffered very few casualties following the invasion in 2003, and people largely lived in peace.

"Secretary General of the Assyrian Democratic Bet Nahrin Movement Romeo Hakkari said that integrating the disputed territories into the Kurdish region is in the Christians’ interest."
“Implementing Article 140 is in our interest, because we want autonomy for Nineveh province. Our rights depend on the areas linked to Article 140, if we lose those areas it will damage us as well as the people in the Kurdistan Region,” said Hakkari.
About the Kurdish Peshmerga forces in the disputed areas, Hakkari mentioned that: “We support Peshmerga forces being there and they shouldn’t withdraw because their withdrawal would mean going back on what they promised to the Kurdish people.”
Romeo Hakkari also said that In regards to how far Baghdad has been able to protect Christians, Hakkari said: “the massacre of Christians started in 2003, late 2005, 2007 and now it continues. We are the only people that Baghdad government doesn’t protect. The best example is the massacre of Christians in 2010 when in 48 hours hundreds of Christians were killed in Mosul.”
“After 2004 onwards, more than 1,250,000 Christian citizens have allegedly left Iraq and fled abroad. If it wasn’t for the Kurdistan Region, the life condition of the Christians in Iraq would be worse than now,” added Hakkari.
