Astounding that the so-called Christian western Allied nations let this happen.
By this point they weren't Christian but Liberal.
They always have and they always will let it happen because they're a bunch of short sighted cowards. After 1683 western europe was perfectly capable of putting the Ottoman empire and Islam out of their misery but instead decided to prop it up for their selfish reasons, the British as an obstacle to Russia and the French as a potential ally against the Hapsburgs. Eastern Christians already had to pay the price for this betrayal, and soon enough the west will suffer the same at the hands of a resurgent Islam.
I heard 100,000 Armenians died in the recent dust-up with Azerbaijan, I don't remember it being mentioned by any major news source.
@@douglasstewart4790 fortunately nowhere near that many were killed afaik, but it's true that about 100k Armenians had to flee Nagorno Karabakh (Soviet/Turkish name of Artsakh) leaving their ancestral homes behind, probably never to return, after enduring a prolonged blockade by Azerbaijan intended to starve and terrorize them. This was just a couple months ago and it went completely unmentioned by most western media.
And now they have imported islam into Europe to destroy it.
This historical perspective on the Middle East is needed. Too much emphasis is given to Israel. The Jewish religion is a dead religion yet the Christian Armenian and Assyrian Faiths live on. the blame is not only the Muslims but the west for it's neglegence on saving these christians. They are myartres.
Amen. 🙏🏻
1000% agree. The degree to which Christianity in the US in particular has sold out sickens me, to the point they are "re-branding" our faith's name to "Judeo-Christian" and push to pour more and more money to Israel while our people in the region suffer even from Israelis (look who funded Azerbaijan against Armenia in 2022's ethnic cleansing with weapons, it was Israel). I hope that AIPAC money lining the protestant church leaders pockets was worth selling out their brothers and sisters in Christ, nothing but Judases here.
How on earth did you reach such a preposterous conclusion !? Haredi Jews are the fastest growing segment of both Israeli and diaspora Jewish populaces. Incontestable fact. I cannot quite grasp the basis on your point. Unless it’s been made under the woeful aegis of a morbid ignorance. For which you can be excused, I suppose.
Thanks AM. So much about the Christians of this era has been kept from us all. It's a tragic story that doesn't seem to have an end. It must be a miracle that they actually still survive. I would like to know much more about their current circumstances and how their future looks.
As a Chaldo/Syriac, I greatly appreciated this series. I had no idea what my people went through as so much knowledge was lost or silenced. Even when I ask my parents about our family history, they'll give me vague answers such as, "Your great-grandparents used to live in Turkey... I think". The lack of culture was replaced with an over-eagerness to assimilate into Western culture.
Some of the confusion can stem from population and land exchanges. Parts of what are now in Greece were in Turkey prior to WWI. Lots on conflict, calamity and confusion can make such things difficult to track. Also, losing family history is common. As an American one of the saddest aspects is how much is lost of family history as time passes and records are lost.
Lol, the CZcams context card cant figure out the correct genocide.
🤣
Lol! CZcams being CZcams.
Even CZcams only knows about the Armenians lol
I didn't catch this when it dropped but its impact is no less in this case. Like others have mentioned this is a pertinent subject and more need to see this and the preceding videos.
All I can say is well done as usual AM.
A very important video.
A much needed video. Thank you and God Bless. 🙏🏻
Instead of helping Assyrians,Armenians and Greeks the west decided to fight their own European brothers in two world wars. It makes me sick.
You have the best intro on CZcams
Only 17 minutes late and third, the darkest path is ahead.
I am not mad a the ottomans or turks, ethnically and religiously consolidating. I am only mad at the other Christians.
Although an insufferable human being (Dalrymple, not AM), id love to know AM's thoughts on 'From the Holy Mountain' by William Dalrymple
Very disgusting that CZcams responds in its "context" by bringing up the armenian genocide, like assyrians aren't even their own people.
Love the intro
Nationalism seemed to come naturally to europe, as the ethnic lines were pretty clear. but the Middle East had never developed along clear ethnic lines, so nationalism was a disaster there as it just encouraged division and conflict.
It wasn't untill after WW2 that Europe was pacified in terms of ethnic composition with the frame of states: those that fell in the capitalist, democratic sphere opting for toleration of minority groups within their borders and in the areas where Communism was installed, borders were designed based on systematic expulsion and resettlement of entire ethnic groups in order ot create demographically homogenous states where territorial disputes could never again resurface.
However you are right one one thing: compared to Middle East the European ethnic diaspora actually appears clear and understandable.
Agreed, somewhere along the way, Europe took a more material approach to philosophy, Christianity became less and less important in government.
The issue with the middle east is nation and ethnicity aren’t the same thing in the Middle East. Most people there speak Arsbic and have Arab culture but most of their ancestors aren’t ethnic Arabs, but rather descended from the pre-Islamic peoples of the fertile crescent.
4st?
Does the discord still exist?
I got a 1st on a absolute Majesty video 🙂
