| | Nineveh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This "exceeding great city", as it is called in the Book of Jonah, lay on the eastern bank of the Tigris (modern-day Mosul, Iraq). | | | Home to a diverse population of Sunnis and Kurds, as well as the oil processing center Mosul), Ninevah promises to play a large role in Iraqi politics into the future. | | | After the Second World War, several excavations had been carried out by Iraqi archaeologists. |

| | Who are the Assyrians |
| | The Assyrian force was largely responsible for the annexation of Mosul (Nineveh) to Iraq rather than to Turkey, as an official of the League of Nations stated. | | | The government of Turkey, claimed that Mosul (Nineveh) is part of Turkey and Fet’hi Beg declared that the Assyrians, who he referred to them as Nestorians, are welcomed to live in their previous lands in Turkey where they will find freedom. | | | A further suggestion that the British Red Cross might send a relief party to Mosul (Nineveh) was also objected to, apparently on the grounds that this would discourage the activities of the Iraqi Crescent, which has not carried out any relief work among the Assyrians. |

| | The Repentance of Nineveh |
| | Viewed in light of such charges, Jonah came to be depicted by the Midrash as a virtual national hero whose devotion to his people impelled him to refuse his mission in order to prevent future generations of Jews from being subjected to the unflattering contrast. | | | The midrashic defamation of the Ninevites is therefore recorded only in sources that emanate from the Land of Israel, where Christianity was making successful inroads in the wake of the various tragedies that were besetting the Jewish nation. | | | Surprisingly, in some of the ancient Rabbinic works composed in the Land of Israel, we encounter a very different assessment of the events. |

| | Witnesses Describe Ballot Fraud in Nineveh - by Gareth Porter |
| | That account contradicts both widely reported explanations for the alleged failure of the Sunnis to achieve a two-thirds majority against the constitution in Nineveh — that the Sunnis in Mosul were divided over the constitution, and that Kurds represent a very large proportion of the population of the city. | | | The picture of voting irregularities and fear in Nineveh sketched out in these reports from non-Sunni sources collected by the U.S. military and civil society groups support the complaints about electoral fraud by Sunni political figures. | | | Elsewhere on the Nineveh plain, the KDP openly displayed its security presence at polling places. |

| | The fall of Nineveh: introduction |
| | Although he had liberated Babylonia, Nabopolassar continued the struggle against Assyria and his contemporaries knew that he would not rest until he had destroyed the capitals of Assyria: the religious center Aur and the administrative center Nineveh. | | | If he succeeded, the balance of power in the Near East would be seriously endangered; consequently, the Egyptians supported the Assyrians against the aggressors. | | | The end of the two Assyrian capitals was not the end of the war, however. |

| | The time of Nineveh's judgment was not far off when Nahum wrote his prophecy. | | | The book of Nahum is a prophecy about the destruction of the city of Nineveh, the capital of the ancient pagan Assyrian empire. | | | The fall of the outlying city of Lachish is vividly portrayed, including the torture of Jewish captives by impaling and flaying. |

| | For example, Nahum said that Nineveh's destruction would be final, and that the city would never again regain the greatness that it once had, and that Nineveh would never again be able to cause problems for Israel. | | | It is believed that Nahum wrote his book about two years before Nineveh was destroyed in 612 BC. | | | Nineveh at that time was the capital of the Assyrian Empire, which was one of the most powerful empires of the ancient world. |

| | Christian Evidences Part I, by Richard M. Riss |
| | During Jonah's time, the people of Nineveh believed in a divinity who sent messages to them by a person who rose out of the sea, as part fish and part man, and they would undoubtedly have been very receptive to Jonah's ministry if he had been vomited out of a fish. | | | Therefore, in his opinion, Oannes would be a regular Greco-Babylonian writing for Jonah.5 The preservation of the name "Yunas" or "Jonah" at the ruins of Nineveh also confirms the historicity of the Jonah story. | | | Since the name Dagan appears frequently in the Assyrian records from earlier dates, and no trace has been found in them of the name "Oannes," it is possible that this name is a reference to Jonah, as the supposed manifestation of the fish-god himself. |
