"...I wonder what the point was? Probably the defense wanted to make Assyrians out of Chaldeans because Robert doesn't believe in Chaldeans so he had to show that everyone he lied for was Assyrian, not anything else....had to maintain the fiction that he was saving ASSYRIANS from persecution...also because Chaldeans never speak of being persecuted, unless they need to lie their way into the US...THEN they are persecuted."


-- Form what I've read (and no, I don't trust AINA), the "Iraqi Christians" who have legitimate fears based on precedence: they're church was bombed and priest kidnapped and tortured, these Iraqis are Chaldean, not Assyrian. I'm not saying that Assyrians weren't affected by the violence, but I've only read about the Chaldean people:

"A Chaldean priest who oversees hundreds of Iraqi Christian refugees displaced by the Islamic State says Iraqi Christians blame the United States government for not protecting them and their ancient communities from being conquered by the barbaric terrorist group.

"Father Douglas al-Bazi, who runs the Mar Elias Church and displacement center in Ainkawa, is in the U.S. this week to raise awareness about the plight facing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Christians who are forced to live as refugees after IS [also known as ISIS or ISIL] overtook their homes and villages in the Nineveh plains of Iraq in 2014.

"Bazi, who is originally from Baghdad and was kidnapped from his church and tortured for days by Islamic militants in 2006, shared his story with a group of reporters and writers in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday and discussed the Iraqi Christian community's aggravation with the U.S. government."

-- Maybe the court accepts the argument about persecution since in March the U.S. State Department stated that what Iraqi Christians and Yazidi are facing is genocide:

"Although the U.S. State Department designated IS' treatment of Christians and others in Iraq and Syria as a genocide in March, the U.S. has done very little since then to provide help for the suffering Christian refugee communities in Erbil, Bazi said."

But as I mentioned above, according to the Dept. of State, the Iraqi Christians persecuted are overwhelmingly Chaldean, not Assyrian. Most Assyrians left. Relative to Assyrians, most Chaldean stayed, unless I'm wrong. They stayed to take care of their businesses, some of which were partnerships with Muslims. Chaldean don't view Muslims as Assyrians do. But I could be wrong.

So perhaps Robert's was pulling switch and bait.

(Or perhaps I'm wrong.)
