I had to stand before these two bodies and argue with a bunch of Rabis and Catholic priests who would stand against the teach-ins for fear of inciting students to become "anti-semetic" or "anti-Catholic". Some of the debates were so ridiculous and the charges made against me so ludicrous, that I would be laughing while I debated these gate-keepers.

>Nearly every teach-in I held on that campus drew large audiences who wanted to not only to understand what was going on in the Middle East, but were curious to see what would happen to me. Even larger than my audiences were the demonstrators against me from the faculty and their base of support from the Jewish and Catholic community. In time, I realized who were my critics and what was their motive!

>It turns out that Valley College at that time, (perhaps it still is) was dominated by Jewish Rabis who ran Jewish Community Centers across the street and acted as advisors to Jewish students and held alumni positions of power on campus, and were in cohoots with a bunch of Catholic professors who were worried that I would influence young impressionable minds against traditional religions. That was the excuses they used most often. Nothing was further from the truth, because as far as I was concerned, I was addressing political issues, not religious.

>After nearly every teach-in, these allies would hold a counter-teach-in to "unbrainwash" the students. They would have the Jewish Defense League bull-dogs come out and hold Zionist teach-ins, to try to undo what I was supposedly doing. I was dumb-founded that some of the teachers would even cooperate with them by requiring mandatory attendance of ALL their students at these Zionist rallies, (I like to call them.)
>
>The atmosphere was so racist on that campus that I was always targeted openly and blatantly. Until a philosophy professor, Patrick Maguire, a former Jesuit priest excommunicated from the Catholic church, and two Sociology professors, Mike Vivian, a progressive Jew, and Pat, the "Communist", stood with me against these enemies and together we finally put them in their places.

>I left before Dr. Kelly Ross joined LAVC, but it sounds to me what Farid did on September 24, ( my birhtday, by the way) 2001 was what I had to do many times over when I was a student there.

>What is sad to me is that this Philosophy professor doesn't realize that Sumerians, Assyrians, Babylonians are all one people. Sumer and Akkad existed simultaneously. The Sumerians never disappeared off the face of the earth, as some historians have wrongly written. They assimilated into the overall Assyrian culture, when the Assyrians came into power. The same with the Babylonians. They took over the Assyrian empire when they came into power through various dynasties. They all spoke the same language, (different dialects) and practiced the same culture and religion. And the way in which Dr. Ross was scolding Farid about Assyrian history, only proves his ignorance and outdated knowledge.


...and of course...the Arabs came and blended in as well...we are all one big dysfunctional family.

>Sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. It was perfectly ok that LAVC was surrounded by Jewish Community Centers who's pride was the Zionist movement, (which was racist from the get go, because it endorsed genocide against the Palestinians) and to openly recruit Jewish Political Science professors and made them publicly admitt they were Zionists, but it's not ok for Assyrian students to take pride in their history and traditions!

...Ross made a big deal about the "lost" Jewish tribes...saying we wiped them out...bullshit, sez I...they STAYED among us! When Cyrus captured Babylon and told the Jews they were free to return to that holy sheepshit pile they reacted as any sane people would...they REFUSED! Only the usual suspects who`d remained on the dung heap in their minds (as Peter and Firas and the rest are still in a village up a tree) and who never managed to broaden their horizons...remaining derelicts and bums wherever they went, opted to return to their "promised" half acre...that`s the truth of the story...so, naturally, we KILLED them all!

Now that you mention the Zionist thing, I remember thinking it odd that there were more Jewish students in attendance than "Assyrian" ones...but so what....there are more Jew ASSYRIOLOGISTS than there is ONE "Assyrian" one. We don`t find ourselves interesting, no REALLY. All we care about is the SACRIFICE we madeof Ashur on the altar of yahwe.
