No. She dithers about talking about how God actually respects Assyrians in the Old Testament and she can't understand Anti-Assyrian arguments in the text. As an atheist, it's honestly tedious, but no, she claims that those who would claim that God hates Assyrians do not understand the Bible.

All of this said, she wastes a lot of time talking about how current Church leadership is using the signs and symbols of Pre-Christian Assyria which somehow makes them pagans and perverts. Her logic her is, at best, an oversimplification of the friction between the ethnic identity of Assyrian-ness and the religious identity of CoE and, at worst, ridiculous ranting.
