This paper examines the Ba’ath Party’s systematic persecution of the Faily Kurds, exploring the underlying reasons for their targeted mistreatment and eventual genocide. It focuses on the period when the Ba’ath intensified its anti-Iranian political actions and argues that the party’s opposition to Shi’ites was a key factor in the Faily Kurds’ persecution, which led to systematic annihilation. The chapter uses a qualitative method of content analysis to investigate the nationalist ideological motives that led to the dual forms of mistreatment and genocide of the Faily Kurds by the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party. Studying the case of the Faily Kurds elaborates the political behavior of the Ba’ath Party towards the rest of the Iraqi population as well. Their case is a good example to explain the genesis of the mentality and behavior of the Ba’ath Party towards the whole Kurdish population and any kind of opposition.
