Khairallah Talfah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Khairallah Talfah (Arabic خير الله طلفاح) was an Iraqi Ba'ath Party official, and the maternal uncle and father-in-law of Saddam Hussein. He was the father of Sajida Talfah, Saddam's first wife, and of Adnan Khairallah, defense minister. Saddam made Khairallah Talfah mayor of Baghdad, but was forced to remove him due to Talfah's corruption[citation needed].

In the 1940s, Talfah wrote the ten page pamphlet Three Whom God Should Not Have Created: Persians, Jews, and Flies. In 1981, following the start of the Iran-Iraq War, the Iraqi government publishing house Dar al-Hurriyya (House of Liberty) republished it, and the Iraqi Ministry of Education distributed it as part of a textbook for school-boys. The work describes Jews as a "mixture of dirt and the leftovers of diverse people". [1]
