The US-backed IS death squads issued a proclamation demanding that Christians either, convert to Islam, submit to their radical rule and pay a religious levy or face death by the sword. If they did not do so, there would be 'nothing for them but the sword', it said. As a result thousands of Iraqi Christians last month poured out of Mosul. On their way out many of these Christian refugees were also robbed by IS as they fled.

According to the local UN mission the US's "arc of crisis" has caused over 2 million Iraqis to be displaced with another 400 uprooted families arriving last Sunday morning in both Arbil and Dohuk, the Kurdish enclave. Other indigenous minorities from the same province of Nineveh have suffered even more than the Christians. HRW documented extensive crimes against the Yezidies, as well as the Turkmen and Shabak Shiite communities.

All wars are US bankers' wars and the "arc of crisis" they have engineered in the Middle East today has led to the exodus of an entire Christian population from their ancestral homelands, while a Rothschild scion inks a deal to pump Iraq's oil birthright.

The CIA's plausible deniability be damned, like the British before them the Americans have betrayed not just the Assyrians but all minorities in the Middle East. We should now not only expose the US's hand in supporting these war crimes we should seek justice from the US government leaders and US bankers as well as war reparations for the numerous war crimes they have committed on all the people of the Middle East.
