There's this lie, that's touted in perpetuity by Assyrians, that of course, goes unchallenged. That is that Arabs weren't in Mesopotamia until the 7th Century CE, during the Islamic conquest of the region. Well here's the problem with that, the linguistic evidence suggests that ethnic groups such as the Aramaeans, Amorites and Chaldeans, all which contributed to development and ethnogenesis of the Assyrian people, may have migrated from in or near Arabia. So how could Assyrians honestly claim that Arabs weren't occupying their land until the 7th Century?


When these people's inceptions date back to before the Common Era? Furthermore, there's also some new archaeological evidence that a Christian Arabian tribe, known as the Lakhmids, believed to be from Yemen settled in Iraq. There they established cities, one them being Hira in South-Central Iraq near Najaf airport. Which dates back to the 2nd or 3rd Century CE. Hundreds of years before the Islamic period.

But if this wasn't the case, it's not as if these geopolitical boundaries present barriers to gene flow between groups. Iraq borders Arabia for fucks sake, I'd be surprised if Ancient and Modern Iraqis didn't have any "Arab" admixture. It's not as if Assyrians have any copyrights over the territory.
