Three Whom God Should Not Have Created: Persians, Jews, and Flies
Three Whom God Should Not Have Created: Persians, Jews, and Flies (Arabic: ثلاثة كان على الله أن لا
يخلقهم: الفرس، اليهود والذباب, romanized: Thalatha kan 'ala Allah an la yakhluqahum: al-Furs, al-Yahud wal-dhubab) is an alleged political pamphlet by Khairallah Talfah, an Iraqi Ba'ath Party official and the maternal uncle and father-in-law of Saddam Hussein.[1][2] The pamphlet was authored in 1940, but was published during the era of Saddam Hussein.[3][4][not in citation given] [5][6] The document is highly derogatory towards Persians and Jews.
In 1980, following the start of the Iran-Iraq War, the Iraqi government publishing house Dar al-Hurriyya (Abode of Liberty) republished it[7], and the Iraqi Ministry of Education distributed the propaganda as part of a textbook for school-children.[citation needed]
The work describes Persians as "animals God created in the shape of humans"[8][9], Jews as a "mixture of dirt and the leftovers of diverse people",[10] and flies as poor misunderstood creatures "whom we do not understand God's purpose in creating".[11]
