ROMMEL ELIAH ON ZOWAA & THE = FUTURE OF=20 ASSYRIANS

On March 12, 2000, a seminar entitled "The = Assyrian=20 Genocide: Living with Hope for the Future" sponsored by the Assyrian = Academic=20 Society in conjunction with the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, was = held at=20 North Park University, Chicago.  The following was the presentation = of Mr.=20 Rommel Eliah, the Assyrian Democratic Movement (ZOWAA) representative in = the=20 United States.=20

"Today, I begin my address by = raising some=20 questions about our nation and its cause.  What are the most = important=20 issues that concern us?  What kind of a future do we want our = nation to=20 experience?  How do we prioritize our national objectives?  = Should we=20 be concerned about obtaining national security?  What strategies = are we=20 going to implement to accomplish short, medium, and long-term = goals?  Do we=20 have programs to protect our national heritage?  What role do = Assyrians=20 around the world play in supporting the struggle in our homeland?  = And=20 lastly, what kind of a foundation do we have today to step forward=20 from?=20

Most of you know that Assyrians = have lived=20 in our homeland for hundreds of years under governments we neither = trusted nor=20 loved.  We have known what our sickness is, but have not found the=20 cure.  We have known what are our weaknesses, but not our = strengths. =20 The Assyrians living in Iraq have learned to live with their = wounds. =20 Dreams have been lost.  Hopes have been lost.=20

For some time now we have = longed for change=20 but feared failure.  Not only failure but the threat of making life = even=20 more difficult.  Our belief that change will come has long since = been=20 defeated.  As a result, our movement towards the future and a = better life=20 has been shadowed by lost hopes, sad memories of the past and a = pessimistic=20 mind-set.  This along with other factors are the reasons why our = nation is=20 still struggling even when the age of information lies ahead.  We = are still=20 behind the curve, in the age of the Worldwide Web, globalization with = open=20 markets, peaceful change, government legitimacy and = democracy.=20

Today, I believe it is worth = remembering=20 the real Assyrian heroes who have and are still fighting for change in = the=20 homeland we so adore.  For more than twenty years now, since its=20 establishment in 1979, the Assyrian Democratic Movement, ZOWAA, has been = laying=20 the foundation and setting up the framework for a better future.  = It has=20 not been the easiest time to attempt such a restructuring.  We all = know=20 that in the last twenty years, Iraq has gone through the bloodiest = period in its=20 history.  The result has been the prevailing of a ruthless = tyranny. =20 Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians have been slain by this = shameless=20 regime and the insane policies it employees.  Sixty to seventy = thousands=20 Assyrians were killed during the two recent Gulf wars and more than half = a=20 million fled their homeland.=20

During that extremely grim = period, our=20 hopes and aspirations of a better life fell on the shoulders of ZOWAA to = pave=20 the road for a new beginning.  In 1991, our cause got a fresh = breath and=20 slowly began the building momentum.  The momentum came in spite of = the=20 double boycott through international sanctions and additional = restrictions=20 imposed by the Baghdad regime.  I would say that some functional=20 experiences have been gained from these hard circumstances and have = performed=20 well in practice. Our people in northern Iraq, driven by national = interests and=20 major objectives, have accomplished much.=20

Through dedication and concern = to protect=20 our national values, they have grown confident and continued to = sacrifice=20 accordingly.  In the last ten years, ZOWAA has managed to minimize = risks=20 while maximizing gains and benefits.  ZOWAA opened the door of = opportunity=20 while it was previously closed.  Let me tell you about some of = their=20 accomplishments:=20

In Iraqi Kurdistan, ZOWAA has = joined the=20 governmental parliament totaling four members and also have a minister = in the=20 government's cabinet.  Besides this progress, we have established = and=20 strengthened our relationships with the Iraqi Opposition parties, = promoted=20 democratic values, spread our views on human rights practices in the = region and=20 continue to participate in the ongoing struggle to maintain peace.  = Today=20 our cause and rights as a nation are well understood and recognized by = the Iraqi=20 people and the Iraqi Opposition groups.=20

In the social arena, ZOWAA = supports our=20 people in the building of villages and churches.  During the = previous=20 years, the Assyrian Cultural centers, Athletic clubs and other social=20 organizations increased their activities and expanded their ranks.  = Mass=20 organizations such as the Assyrian Youth, the Assyrian Student Union and = the=20 Assyrian Women's Union have also expanded their activities and=20 memberships.  The Assyrian media established by ZOWAA has also been = improved.=20

Today, our people in the north = (Nuhadra and=20 Arbil) enjoy daily television and radio broadcasts.  One of the = most=20 significant accomplishments has been the curriculum to teach our native = tongue,=20 Assyrian language, in the official schools.  We are now teaching = the core=20 curriculum in the Assyrian language.  Thousands of students in the = north=20 are now using our Assyrian language not only as a language of = conversation and=20 prayer, but also as a living language to study science, social studies, = history,=20 geography, humanities and literature. Today we have twelve primary = schools in=20 Arbil and sixteen in Nuhadra [Dohuk] plus Naseebin Assyrian Secondary = school in=20 Nuhadra.  We are improving our schools and teaching facilities such = as=20 buses, classrooms and dormitories.  We see the future of our nation = in the=20 eyes of the children attending the Assyrian schools.=20

All of these achievements can = be explained=20 easily but were not easily initiated and implemented.  Indeed these = were=20 not years of waiting but rather of Doing.  Make no mistake, these=20 aspirations didn't come by accident.  The cost was lives of young=20 Assyrians.  These accomplishments didn't come from sitting in the = ivory=20 towers but rather through hard work, sacrifices, wise and confident = policies and=20 through practical implementation of progressive programs.=20

The Assyrian Democratic = Movement and the=20 Assyrian Aid Society with their fundraising efforts and with the active = support=20 of our people played a key role to mobilize, motivate and inspire every = Assyrian=20 with organized discipline and systematic ways.  To turn what was = once a=20 dream, ten years ago, into a reality today is the art of politics.  = The art=20 of making the impossible possible.=20

The Assyrian families, = teachers, engineers,=20 doctors, students, youth, women, farmers and politicians are living a = life full=20 of meaning and purpose.  A life of duty, honor and = responsibility. =20 They are all taking solid steps towards returning respect and = credibility to our=20 nation.  They have became makers rather than consumers of = history. =20 With courage, open minds and open hearts, they are shaping the events = and not=20 shaped by them.=20

In our homeland, ZOWAA is = choosing the most=20 suitable means from those available to meet the required ends.  We = are=20 adjusting the optimum to the possible in the light of technical=20 limitations.  We are developing the chances and proposals to deal = with the=20 new problems.  We have plans of actions to achieve specific = political and=20 social outcomes and choose those actions which will work under certain=20 circumstances and this is the art of strategy.=20

We in ZOWAA made this progress = not by=20 telling our people what to do but rather by giving them the tools and = helping=20 them do what is good for our nation.  In all this period, ZOWAA = promises=20 little and delivers much.  In the last ten years and in every = single turn=20 down the road, ZOWAA depended and continue to depend on our = people.  Yet,=20 we do not believe that what has been done is all that can be done.  = We=20 still have not solved older, deeply rooted national problems that hinder = our=20 progress.  We still face problems, make mistakes, experience = difficulties,=20 but let us look at the glass and see it as half full.  There is a=20 difference between having things and doing things.  In all that has = been=20 accomplished, ZOWAA was the leader and a servant.=20

What did we learn from all of=20 this?=20

We learned that what failed = before, when=20 modified to meet new circumstances may prove to be successful.  As = a=20 nation, we have learned that money spent (even in small quantity), when = spent=20 wisely and effectively then much can be gained.  We learned that = the=20 decisions we make should be based on our national needs and not on the = needs of=20 any selected group.  We learned that to lead is to serve and bear = the=20 burden of those who we serve.  We learned that we have the capacity = to=20 decide for ourselves as Assyrians rather than to accept decisions made = by others=20 for us.  We learned that when we use both, the brain and the heart = and=20 convert anger and emotions into policies then we can do better.  We = learned=20 that if history had divided us once, it can unit us as well when we = learn the=20 difference between passion and power.  We learned that we must = first=20 practice what we preach to others.  We learned that we should not = use=20 excuses that will prevent us from dealing with our pressing=20 priorities..=20

ZOWAA today is bravely facing = those who=20 want to stand against our nation.  ZOWAA's members in northern Iraq = put=20 their lives in harms way everyday to defend our freedom.  ZOWAA is = reaching=20 to the center of what we believe and is giving us every reason to renew = our=20 faith.  ZOWAA today is carrying a heavy burden which we should not = let it=20 carry it alone.=20

Our duty today is to support = what works and=20 stop supporting what does not work.  By doing that, we prevent the = terrible=20 fate which may lie ahead for our nation.=20

SYRIA WARNED MARONITE POPE = AGAINST VISIT TO=20 HOLYLAND

Courtesy of Lebanon Bulletin, April 2, = 2000=20

(ZNDA:  D.C.)   According to the World = Lebanese=20 Organization's sources in Beirut and South Lebanon, the Syrian = occupation=20 authorities massively pressured the Maronite Church not to participate = in the=20 Jubilee celebrations in the Holy Land under the auspices of the=20 Pope.   As Lebanon Bulletin learned from Maronite sources in = the Holy=20 Land, a committee to organize Patriarch Sfeir's visit to Israel and the=20 Palestinian areas was formed in January.  The "committee" included = local=20 Maronite leaders and Church officials whose mission was to coordinate = with=20 Vatican officials as to the details of Sfeir's participation in the = Papal=20 events.  Patriarch Sfeir was to appear in all gatherings alongside = with=20 Pope John Pope II, "to demonstrate Rome's attachment and support for the = spiritual leader of the Maronite Church," according to sources close to = the=20 Vatican. The Maronite Committee in the Holy Land was able to organize = three=20 major events for the Maronite Patriarch in Jerusalem, Jaffa and = Haifa.  His=20 Excellency Mor Sfeir was scheduled to meet Arafat and Israeli leaders = with the=20 Pope. The Maronite community in the Holy Land had also planned several = meetings=20 with the local communities and a special program in Nazareth. The = Patriarchal=20 visit however was put to a brutal halt by a Syrian threat which was = directed to=20 Bkerke (seat of the Maronite Patriarchate).=20

In addition to pressures against the Patriarchate and = the=20 individual Bishops, Syrian intelligence officers warned any priest or = monk from=20 the Maronite, Catholic or any Lebanese Christian churches and = denominations not=20 to travel to the Holy land to co-celebrate services with the Pope. = According to=20 southern Lebanese sources, even the Maronite and other Lebanese = Christian=20 pastors of the security zone were sent strong messages not to cross the = borders=20 to accompany the thousands of civilians who participated in the Tiberias = service. The aim of the "Syrian intelligence" being to abort any contact = between=20 the Maronite Church and Israel, or to show the world that the Christians = of=20 Lebanon have no psychological barrier in visiting the Holy Land. A = senior=20 Lebanese political analyst said "this move to disrupt any connection = between the=20 Lebanese Christian Church and the Vatican, in an area as symbolic and = sensitive=20 as the Holy Land, is an indicator as to the intentions of the Syrians = and=20 Hizbollah regarding the southern Lebanese communities after Israel=20 withdrawal.   This is a message directed to the Christians of = Lebanon=20 in general, as to deny them any recourse to save and help the southern=20 communities from the wrath of "punishment" after Israel's withdrawal. It = is to=20 note that neither Bkerke nor any official of the Maronite Church made = any=20 official remark as to the reason behind the abstention from meeting the = Pope in=20 the Holy Land. When asked by the media about this matter (his potential = visit to=20 the Holy Land) upon his return from his visit to Egypt last month, = Patriarch=20 Sfeir said: "we don't know, we will see, we will decided then."=20


U.S. MARONITE CHURCH CALLS FOR = "SYRIAC"=20 DESIGNATION

Courtesy of Lebanon Bulletin, April 9, = 2000=20

In a historic move that would bring potential change = to the=20 visibility and clout of the Lebanese-American community, the Maronite = Church in=20 the US asked its members to identify as "Syriacs," braking years of = dominance of=20 the Arab lobby in America in the most sensitive area of domestic = politics. The=20 historic move, was embodied by a circular no. 10 issued by the Eparchy = of Saint=20 Maron of Brooklyn in New York, and signed by Chorbishop Joseph = Kaddo.=20

The memorandum, released to the Pastors and = Administrators of=20 the Eparchy of Saint Maron:=20

THE US MARONITE CHURCH=20 MEMORANDUM=20

"As you know the Federal Decennial Census 2000 is = currently=20 underway. In previous Federal census registrations, Lebanese Maronites = were=20 counted as "Arabs," which means that any Federal moneys which were = available for=20 educational and social services, went to the Arab ethnic community at = large. The=20 US Census Bureau has approved a new category named Syriac (not Syrian), = which=20 represents for the first time separate recognition for the people of=20 Syriac-speaking origin. It is important that our people register as = Syriac on=20 the census 2000 forms. Registration as white will simply include us in = the=20 majority population and registration as Lebanese will include us = automatically=20 as Arabs. To register as Syriac, the Census Forms should be filled as = follows:=20 Short Census Form: First page, at question 7, the box for "No (not=20 Spanish/Hispanic/Latino) should be filled in at the spaces provided = there. At=20 the sections for additional persons on the following pages, at Question = 5, the=20 box for "No (not Spanish/Hispanic/Latino) should be filled in at the = spaces=20 provided there for each additional person listed.=20

Long Census Form: Third page, at the question on = race, the box=20 for "some other race" should be checked and Syriac should be filled in = at the=20 spaces provided there. At the sections for additional persons on pages 4 = and=20 following, at the question for each additional resident, Syriac (not = Lebanese)=20 should be written in at the space provided.=20

A sheet with examples of how to fill out these = questions is=20 enclosed for your information. It is my suggestion that our people be = encouraged=20 to register as Syriac on the Census 2000 Forms. In this way, we will be = counted=20 as a separate ethnic minority, and may qualify for some Federal = financial=20 assistance for our educational and social programs. Please communicate = this=20 information promptly to your parishioners."=20

* * *

Also, the American Maronite Union (AMU), the national = affiliate=20 of the World Maronite Union (WMU) issued an urgent action alert calling = on all=20 Maronites and Lebanese Christians in the US who missed this critical = point to=20 send another Census Form.=20

AMU ACTION ALERT (released via=20 Internet)=20

To all members of the Maronite community in the = United States,=20 as well as to all Lebanese Christians from Aramaic-Syriac descent. The = Eparchy=20 of the Saint Maron of Brooklyn issued a historical call to all of us to = identify=20 as "Syriac" in the ongoing US Census. We, as American Maronite Union, = cannot but=20 praise our spiritual leadership and our Church for this crucial move. = This=20 ethnic self identification will finally allow us to emerge as a proud = community,=20 reconciled with its history and confident in its American future. The = term=20 Syriac (Syriani) is not Syrian (Suri). Syriac is our historical = identity, Syriac=20 is our historical language which we still use partially in our services. = But=20 more importantly, in the current political and institutional frameworks, = it will=20 allow our community finally to distinguish itself from the Arab-American = community. That distinction is not sought for the aim of creating = divisions but=20 as a fundamental right to our community, the largest American ethnic = group from=20 Middle Eastern Christian descent.=20

The US Census is crucial for us Maronites and = Lebanese=20 Christians for several reasons. In addition to the issue of Federal = funds which=20 must be distributed fairly, the fact that the US Government will have to = recognize our community, its numbers, and its distribution will have = important=20 consequences regarding our main community issues, particularly the = Lebanese=20 cause. Therefore, the American Maronite Union, a Maronite advocacy group = which=20 seeks to defend the rights of our community in this country, urges all = those who=20 did not receive the memorandum and didn't return their Census Forms yet, = to use=20 the term Syriac when indicating ethnic and ancestry affiliation. As to = those who=20 sent their forms without this reference we urge you to contact the = Census Bureau=20 at your earliest convenience to request a new form. The AMU will be = available to=20 assist all those who need further information or who would decide to = send a new=20 form.=20

We cannot but stress the crucial importance of the = Maronite=20 Church memorandum, considering it as the most important declaration of = our=20 Church in America since its inception.


HABIB AFRAM TO LECTURE = AT=20 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY

(ZNDA:  Washington D.C.)  Last week, Center = for=20 Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University announced a = lecture by=20 Mr. Habib Afram, President of the Syriac=20 Universal Alliance, the Syriac League in Lebanon and the Secretary = General=20 of the Union of Christian Leagues.  Mr. Afram's lecture, "The = Future of=20 Syriac-Speaking Christians in the Middle East," will be held at = Georgetown=20 University's Salaam Conference Center, Bunn Intercultural Center, 7th = Floor on=20 27 April at 7:00 pm.=20

Mr. Afram's arrival in the U.S. coincides with last = week's=20 unexpected announcement made by the Syrian and Lebanese-based = Aramaic-speaking=20 churches in the U.S., calling for their parishioners to designate = themselves as=20 "Syriac" in the U.S. Census 2000.=20

Last month, Mr. Afram congratulated the new Syrian = Prime=20 Minister Mohammed Mustafa Miro on his appointment and his Defense = Minister=20 Mustafa Tlas for his re-appointment to the Syrian Cabinet.  Such=20 Syrian-friendly gestures have already angered many Lebanese Christians = in the=20 U.S., an issue that may overshadow Afram's greater message of = Syriac-Christian=20 unity in the Middle East.  Mr. Afram is expected to make similar = visits to=20 California, Boston, and Chicago.

SURF'S UP! =

=93First of all, I would like to wish all = Assyrians=20 around the world a happy and prosperous New Year, and I pray the Lord = will bless=20 this year for all members of the Assyrian nation. The Assyrian New Year = is a=20 blessed and sacred occasion in the history of our nation, symbolizing = our=20 rebirth from the bitter winter months to the bountiful seasons of spring = and=20 summer.=20

This is the time for all of us to look inward and = decide what=20 we want as a people and what we want to accomplish as a nation. We have = reached=20 a millennial new year and we have the opportunity to change for the = better so=20 that as Assyrians, we can advance not only as individuals, but also as a = people.=20 While it is true that we are from different countries in the Middle = East, such=20 as Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, as well as countries from the West, = we are=20 all one Assyrian family and there is no other name that we can call = ourselves=20 except Assyrian. We should be proud that after all the suffering our = people have=20 endured at the hands of pagans and Muslims throughout the years, still = we are=20 able to maintain our ancient culture and traditions, whether in the = Middle East=20 or the Western world.=20

Although at this time there are selfish and deceitful = individuals, certain political organizations, and specific religious=20 institutions that want to corrupt and deny the glorious name of Assyria, = that=20 blessed and ancient name with a history full of mighty accomplishments, = the name=20 whom the Lord God himself gave to our nation, they cannot and we shall = never=20 allow them.=20

During this past week, many of us took part in = various events=20 celebrating our nation's new year. We were honored and overjoyed that we = were=20 able to carry out the traditions of our ancestors. Furthermore, we are = proud=20 that we are Assyrians, and to all the nations of the world we proclaim = that we=20 are Assyrians! Nevertheless, it is extremely important that we never = forget how=20 many sacrifices our forefathers have offered upon the altar of Assyrian=20 nationalism. We must never forget the countless number of martyrs our = beloved=20 nation has given for the survival of her people and holy church. We must = never=20 forget all of the persecutions, massacres, tortures, murders, and rapes = our=20 ancestors have endured for the sake of their Assyrian identity and = Christian=20 faith.=20

Beloved reader, today we are able to call ourselves = "Assyrian"=20 because our forefathers have purchased our inheritance into this mighty = nation=20 with their own sacred blood. We remain Assyrians because our holy = martyrs, with=20 their irrefutable sacrifices, have kept our identity and Assyrian name = alive=20 among the nations of world. Today, we are Assyrians because those that = came=20 before us, with an unprecedented love for their Christian faith and = Assyrian=20 ancestry, have safeguarded their heritage not only for us, but for = generations=20 of Assyrians that follow.=20

My fellow Assyrians, we are the descendants of that = mighty=20 nation that had established thousands of years before Christ the first = empire=20 this world has known. As Assyrians, we are the sons and daughters of = that proud=20 race that was the first to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ and spread = the good=20 news of a Savior to the ends of the known world, such as Japan, China, = Mongolia,=20 and Siberia. Today, we are the only remnants of that once mighty = civilization,=20 whose accomplishments and works are taught and displayed throughout the=20 universities and museums of Europe and America. If those non-living = stone and=20 clay artifacts are crying out their Assyrian ancestry, how much more do = we, who=20 owe our existence to our sacred Assyrian martyrs, need to proclaim to = the=20 nations of the world our Assyrian identity and heritage!? I pray that = all=20 Assyrians, including our political and religious leaders, will never = deny and=20 forget their Assyrian nation. Additionally, I encourage all Assyrians = and those=20 of Assyrian descent to always speak our language, that holy language = which=20 Christ himself spoke to his disciples. Our language needs to be = continuously=20 used at home and at our gatherings, and parents, please teach your = children how=20 to speak Assyrian and the importance of using it. It is one of the few = bonds=20 that links us to our ancient ancestors.=20

I hope that this document has demonstrated my love = and=20 admiration as an Assyrian for my people and Christian faith. = Furthermore, I hope=20 that it has inspired you to realize the importance of remembering our = past and=20 looking forward to the future, while maintaining our ancient and most = beautiful=20 culture and traditions. I trust that you have gained a new understanding = of the=20 importance of keeping our heritage and identity alive. In conclusion, I = trust=20 that we shall never let those that conspire against the Assyrian nation = to=20 succeed in corrupting our pure and glorious name. We are the descendants = of=20 those mighty Assyrians, who through their hands civilization evolved and = prospered, setting the standard for all other nations to follow. The = interests=20 of our people, who were once as vast as the mighty oceans but now have = been=20 reduced to a mere droplet amongst the nations of the world, should be = the=20 motivation and driving force of our leaders for one day unifying our = people as=20 one. Additionally, the advancement of our nation in all fields through = education=20 should be of the utmost importance and concern for all those that claim=20 themselves as true Assyrians.=94=20

Theodore = Weidemann

Ted and Sylvia Aurahan = Weidemann were=20 married for 35 years.  During their marriage Ted "adopted" himself = as an=20 "Assyrian."  He was a member of the then Knights of Assyria, Union = County,=20 New Jersey.  He and Sylvia were gracious hosts and held the monthly = Sunday=20 meetings in their home.=20

Summer meetings were convened = in their=20 backyard pool.  There were quite a few young people in the "Club" = at that=20 time and many learned to swim in the Weidemann Pool.  Towels were=20 strategically placed around the apron of the pool to allow the younger = children=20 to wipe their eyes.  Ted enjoyed Assyrian food and he and Sylvia = would=20 prepare and serve Kadi and Chai.  He attended many of the = Assyrian-American=20 conventions held on Labor Day.  In 1971, he and his wife went to = Iran on a=20 charter and stayed there for five glorious weeks.  He especially = enjoyed=20 the trip to Urmia to the church where Qasha Joesph Yohannan, great = grandfather=20 of Sylvia, preached.  Ted also had a good time visiting the bazaar = and=20 baths in Tehran.=20

Ted is survived by his wife, = son Kenneth,=20 three granddaughters and three great grandchildren.=20

A TEL AVIV = POSTCARD

Pope John Paul II's visit to = terra sancta=20 evoked several themes. The most profound was his brave effort, unpopular = within=20 much of the church hierarchy, to palliate the bitter relationship = between the=20 followers of Jesus and the people that denies that Jesus' testament = supersedes=20 its own. This loyalty to their vision of the divine has brought the Jews = merciless persecution--from the Catholic Church, from virtually every = schismatic=20 Christian church, and from numerous princes and potentates whose cruelty = served=20 the pious ideal. And now this pope, this astonishing pope, has conceded = the=20 whole brutal narrative. No wonder he was welcomed by the Jewish = state--and by=20 the 30 Israeli survivors of the Jewish catastrophe who hail from his = hometown of=20 Wadowice, some of whom witnessed his decency during the Nazi nightmare. = Again=20 and again during his visit to Israel, and most stirringly before the = monumental=20 golden stones of the Western Wall, the pope spoke of Judaism not as an = errant=20 doctrine but as the very source of monotheism. "God of our fathers, you = chose=20 Abraham and his descendants to bring your Name to the Nations," he said. = John=20 Paul is an exemplary man. And, like most moral models, he has not been=20 adequately emulated.=20

Nor did he himself have many = models to=20 emulate. The interaction between Zionism and the papacy is long and = unhappy. In=20 1904, Theodore Herzl raised the idea of a Jewish state in a Vatican = audience=20 with Pius X. The pope listened carefully and then told his supplicant, = according=20 to Herzl's diaries, that it was a vision "that we cannot support." But, = if the=20 Jews did settle in Palestine, Pius noted helpfully, "we would prepare = churches=20 and priests to convert them all."=20

Pius XII also disliked Zionism. = And that=20 distaste cannot be disentangled from his silence in the face of the = genocide=20 that gave the Jewish state its final justification. Pius XII tried to = rally the=20 Catholic U.N. member states against the 1947 Partition Plan for = Palestine. When=20 that failed, he urged that Jerusalem become a corpus separatum--an = international=20 city whose government the church might dominate. That gambit failed as = well,=20 since the Arab states and the Arabs of Palestine refused any provisions = for=20 partition. But the Vatican's infatuation with an internationalized = Jerusalem has=20 endured. As Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tauran recently put it,=20 Jerusalem ought to be "protected by a special law backed by = international=20 guarantees." John Paul, so unlike Pius XII in so many ways, has = continued this=20 unfortunate legacy. And, worse, he has begun proceedings to bestow on = his=20 shameful predecessor the ultimate honor: sainthood.=20

But, if John Paul believes Pius = XII a=20 saint, does he also believe that people of power are justified in = remaining=20 silent when, in the words of a recent Vatican document, "women and men, = old and=20 young ... for the sole reason of their Jewish origin, were degraded,=20 ill-treated, tortured, and utterly robbed of their human dignity"? Of = course he=20 doesn't. But Pius was silent. And the pope cannot fully honor the = Holocaust's=20 victims while honoring its enablers as well. John Paul did not come = alone. He=20 brought with him perhaps 50,000 Christian pilgrims. But most of the = traffic, for=20 a long time now, has headed the other way. To be an indigenous Christian = in the=20 Holy Land, indeed in the entire Middle East, is to carry much more than = a=20 metaphorical cross. The Assyrian Christians = of Iraq=20 were murdered decades ago. The Coptic = Christians of=20 Egypt are continually persecuted--not only by Muslim extremists but by a = regime=20 fed by U.S. money. There are almost no Christians in Saudi Arabia, save = those=20 foreigners in the diplomatic service, in business, and in the armed = services of=20 Western countries. And even they may not worship publicly. Once, on a = flight=20 between Riyadh and Jeddah, I sat next to a woman from the American = South.=20 Working as a teacher, she'd been living in Saudi Arabia for many years = with her=20 husband and children. I asked her whether she was a Christian. She = answered,=20 "Yes, a Christian in the catacombs." She was a Catholic, and she told me = the=20 difficulties she had getting her children confirmed. "There was this = defrocked=20 priest in the Italian Embassy, and every so often he'd give his servants = a=20 holiday. That's when he celebrated Mass for needy Catholics, and on one = of these=20 occasions my twins had their confirmation." And then she added, "Last = November,=20 when I arrived in Riyadh from Germany, where I was visiting my sister, I = brought=20 a plastic Christmas tree with me for the holidays. It was confiscated at = customs=20 as a religious object."=20

The ironies are legion. In = almost all its=20 incarnations, Arab nationalism is a creation of Christians, who hoped = their=20 loyalty to a secular brotherhood would insulate them from Islam's mass=20 mobilizations. This is how Iraqi nationalism began and spread throughout = the=20 Arab world. Even today, the most notable leaders of Palestinian = rejectionism are=20 Christians--from the rogue terrorists headquartered in Damascus to Peter = Jennings's favorite Palestinian, Hanan Ashrawi, to one-time Arafat flack = turned=20 impassioned enemy Edward Said of Morningside Heights, New = York.=20

But, on the ground, Palestinian = Christians=20 are an endangered species. Legendary Christian towns like Jericho, = Ramallah, and=20 Bethlehem are now mostly Muslim. In 1944, 40,000 Christians lived in = Arab=20 Jerusalem. They lived for two decades under Jordanian sovereignty, and = their=20 numbers plummeted. Israeli rule gave them some relief, but the Intifada, = with=20 its relentless virtual jihad against the Jews, made Christian life = insecure as=20 well. There are now 10,000 Christians left in the Holy City. Writing = last week=20 in Israel's newspaper Ha'aretz, Danny Rubinstein noted that the average = age of=20 Palestinian Christians under Arafat's control is 31, while the average = age of=20 the general population of the Palestinian territories is 18. This is a=20 demographic death knell. What's more, if intermarriage occurs, the = Christian=20 partner must convert to Islam. The world's Christian clergy wants to = stem the=20 abandonment of the Holy Land.=20

And, in this, Israel--which = views=20 Christians as less hostile to the Zionist cause--is their ally. But,=20 nonetheless, all the local churches routinely side with the Palestinian=20 Authority against the Israeli government. Nothing good for Christians = will come=20 of any of this pandering--nothing. John foster Dulles once wondered why = the Jews=20 and the Arabs couldn't settle their squabbles like "Christian = gentlemen." But=20 the Holy Land's Christians are not immune to squabbles of their own. = Although=20 they momentarily put aside their differences for the pope's worship at = the=20 Church of the Holy Sepulchre, they are bitterly divided. John Paul = visited the=20 church--the burial place of Jesus and surely the most sacred site in=20 Christendom--twice. But the fourth-century Holy Sepulchre is a study in = the=20 theological wars between the Catholics, the Greek Orthodox, and the = Armenians.=20 When Pope Paul VI visited it in 1964, priests from different sects = actually came=20 to blows. The Third World Copts and Abyssinian Christians, who also = claim it as=20 their shrine, are palpably despised by their richer ecclesiastical = cousins. In=20 Berlin in 1878, the European powers held an ostensibly successful = congress to=20 solve the Holy Sepulchre's ancient conflicts.=20

But it did not. And neither can = even this=20 great pope. John Paul II came to terra sancta in the deep dusk of his = life. I am=20 not qualified to assay his doctrinal initiatives, although I suspect he = is too=20 conservative even for the good of Catholicism on the status of women and = the=20 celibacy of the clergy. Still, he won his and his church's struggle = against=20 communism. He picked up where John XXIII left off in reconciling the = people of=20 the Old Covenant with the peoples of the New Testament. After this trip = to=20 Israel, Jewish-Catholic relations will never be the same again. But this = stunning achievement comes also in the dark dusk of Christianity's own=20 immemorial existence in the Holy Land. Palestine's Christian diaspora, = like that=20 of the rest of the Middle East, is now scattered from Sydney to Buenos = Aires to=20 Detroit--scattered, mostly, by political Islam. The pope's Mass on the = Mount of=20 the Beatitudes was peopled not with 100,000 local Christians but with = pilgrims=20 who wanted to follow the Holy Father in the footsteps of Jesus. One more = reason=20 for this towering man to weep.=20

BRAVO

In 1988 the monument of Asurbanipal was installed in = San=20 Francisco.  That same year work began on a monument of Sumuramat, = the=20 legendary Shamiram, also known by the Greek name of Semiramis.  In = 1996=20 Helen Schwarten agreed to sponsor the project through her = foundation. =20 Donations had been received but the project was along way from the = $150,000.00=20 needed.=20

The Chicago Arts Council accepted the monument, = providing an=20 excellent location a few blocks from the Oriental Institute on the = campus of the=20 University of Chicago.  this is an ideal setting for several = reasons: =20 for one because of its proximity to one of the oldest and finest centers = for the=20 study of Assyriology (which includes also an excellent collection of = original=20 artifacts).  To place an Assyrian public  monument, after over = 2500=20 years, in a country far removed from our homeland, yet our homeland = nonetheless,=20 next to a museum housing many actual objects dug from that ancient soil, = transported here and displayed nearby, is a profound event.  the = university=20 attracts students and professionals from around the country and across = the=20 world.  Over the years these people will become emissaries, = ambassadors for=20 us, taking the memory of what they see and read on the monument to their = home=20 cities and native lands.  In addition the site will be featured on = a guided=20 city arts bus tour, reaching even more people.=20

Fundraising for the monument came through donations = from all=20 parts of this country and around the world.  After three years of = fruitless=20 efforts to encourage donations from the Assyrian community of Chicago, = Helen=20 Schwarten agreed to provide the bulk of the funds herself.  This = was not=20 all in the spirit of the project which should rather have seen many = Assyrians=20 shouldering the burden to the best of their abilities, thereby making it = light.=20

After a long and productive life, Helen Schwarten = died in=20 November of 1999.  She had, only a few weeks before her death, paid = for the=20 bronze base upon which the eight-foot tall statue of the Queen and = reclining=20 lioness are to be placed.  There remains the cost of building the = concrete=20 pedestal, facing it with black granite and building a twelve-foot = pavilion=20 around it.  An estimate of $23,000.00  has been presented by a = Chicago=20 contractor.=20

We hope to install the complete monument in time for = an=20 official unveiling at this year's Assyrian American National Federation=20 Convention in Chicago on Labor Day weekend.  Hundreds of people = from our=20 community, in addition to others, would be on hand.  The Arts = Council is=20 excited to be receiving this gift from the Assyrian community, and has = promised=20 to publicize the event.=20

We are nearing the end of a long road and if this = monument is=20 ever to be installed in Chicago, this summer must be the time.  I = urge you=20 to join together with other Assyrians to provide the necessary funds to = bring=20 this monument to Chicago.=20
