Go for it, but not openly.
Guerrilla tactics are required.

They need thousands of copies of the Anarchist’s Cookbook dropped in Iraq.

They are fighting under the Kurdish Peshmerga according to the article, so I assume they are getting trained.

From the article:

“The party bought weapons with money donated by members in the diaspora, Sarkis said, and is looking to raise more funds through donations to increase its stockpile.”

Hmmm.....

Here is an Assyrian aid society founded in 1991 that takes donations. I just found them and know nothing about them, so please do your own due diligence and see if they look worthy.

If it helps, their tax returns are given on their website and they have their financials printed so you can see where the money goes.
