Assyrian here, I agree to most of what you said, however

> appears his mother was in fact from a Jewish family since her father's name was Isaak Halabee

we have many Hormuzd [1][2], but we also have many Isaacs and Davids, I find it a weak argument to deduce that a name dictates religious adherence if said person is coming from the middle east. To me these names are as Arameans/Syriac or Assyrian Christian as they are Jewish, early Christianity takes a lot from Judaism. But such view about the names might not be shared among western Christian.

To reinforce my argument about names, due to cultural suppression, many Assyrians were not allowed to choose Assyrian or even Christian name, so they had to choose a non Islamic Arabic name(some would end up with two name, an Assyrian one and an Arabic one). An outside observer will conclude that we are Arabs, if they don't take into account forced homogenization.

we can't nor do we don't have the power to promote our culture given that we live in constant hell with no hope. we live on a day by day basis.

My nation has and still is under constant suppression and ethic cleansing by the Arab and Kurdish colonialist. I studied under both the Kurdish and Arab regimes, in both Assyrians don't exist, we are Kurd or Arab Christians.

I will let you take a guess if the Jews that lived in the region are mentioned under the Arab and Kurdish media/education system.
