(Ibrahim Ansari)

\'\' Shim\'oun Press \'\' or Shimoun Press have became the prime

minister of Israeel twice . He is one of the most major and basic

elements in killing Palestini Muslims specially in \'\' Sabra\'\' and

\'\'Shatila \'\' campsites . Introducing \'\'Ma\'eer Azri \'\' as the first

embassedor of Israeel in Iran (1337-1352), He says:

\'\' Many years ago maybe from a generation ago on Mr Ma\'eer

Azri has been one of the Jewish heads of Iran and has been Israeeli

embassador in Iran and famous for every one . It is difficult to find

a Israeeli person among us who is aware of all the curves of

Iranian history and policy … Ma\'eer can speak Iranian language

well and he is also familiar with their culture he is so seasoned . He

can gather different groups from colorful ranks through his

behavior and insight because like a skillful psychologist he can

find out every person\'s origin in order to Great a unique

masterpiece .\'\'

\'\' Ma\'eer Azri \'\' by the full name of \'\' Rabi Ma\'eer Azri \'\' was

born March , 2, 1923-Isfand ,11,1302 in Jewish parish in Isfahan

city . His father was \'\'Sion\'\' and his mother was \'\'Khanom Hana\'\' .

His father was one of first pupils of \'\'Alians\'\' school which was

built by French Jewish in Isfahan .He was an employee in Tax

office of Isfahan when Ma\'eer was born . \'\'Sion\'\' who was educated

by the British Intelligent Service , gave up Tax office after a while

and was missioned to teach the offspring of the commander of the

Cossack Brigade in Isfahan . After that he went to military

academy and received captain degree . He cooperated with the

French in gendarmerie . For a period of time , he became \'\'

Armitage Smith\'\' \'s translator –\'\'Armitage Smit \'\' was the British

representative in economy ministration . All had befriended

Armitage since the presence of Armitage any the Baktiari

concerning oil issue and he introduced his classmate and old

colleague to the English .

In this regard Ma\'eer Azri writes:

\'\' My father acquainted Late Fateh to sir Sedny [ Armitage ]

and Mr, Feli and these familiarities were beneficial for oil

businesses between Iran and Israeel .\'\'

Ma\'eer Azr\'s father who was active in antique affairs and

expelling them from the country and earned a huge amount of

money by doing this activity like his other coreligionists, came to

Tehran after finishing his missions in Isfahan and simultaneous

with finishing World War II. After a while , about 1328-1329 he

emigrated to occupied Palestine and stayed there .

Ma\'eer Azri who was grown in such family educated in the

Jewish –French Alians high school and the English \'\'Adab\'\' high

school and received Diploma degree in 1322 . He encouraged the

Jewish to emigrate to occupied land of Palestine . He says about

his activity aims :

\'\' The strong bond of Zionism had become rooted in my heart like

other Jewish and grown in my family and been in my blood.\"

Ma\'eer Azri joined his family after their emigrating to Israeel

and activated in different political and non-political activities.

When the authority and power of Pahlavi government became

consistent and America and England substituted , he came back to

Iran to execute his secret missions by exploiting his expanded

cognition towards the culture and customs of Iranian people .

Ma\'eer Azri accomplished his missions during the years 1337-

1352 and then came back to Israeel , to do his various activities in

Tax ministration and to be the special counselor of oil issues with

Iran .

He published his activities in Iran after the victory of Isalmic

Republic and wrote at the beginning of his writings:

\'\' I have to ignore to state some notes ; because , I think it is not

the proper time to reveal them , yet. The other reason is that the

government and Intelligent service of [Israeel] deem it advisable to

hide some events , so some valuable parts of this writing will

remain untold .\'\'

Because this cult has been one of the main arms of Zionism in

Iran , Azri hid some issues and supported them and stated about

some bilateral relationships that s worthy to be stated:

Iran is a birthplace of Baha\'ism cult .There are several million

Bahai followers across the world [!] Mirza Ali Mohammad the

leader of this cult was born in Shiraz in 1844 . His followers called

him Bab (gate) . the Shiite people call them atheists . Bab assumed

himself as a gate for coming a savior prophet as the Christians

believed in Yahya the baptizer who annunciated the Jesus Christ .

It was contradictory with Shiite insight . So , He was caught and

hanged at the age of 31 in Tabriz .

In 1863, one of loyal followers of Bab by the name of Baha

Allah said by supporting of groups of people and some Shiite

leaders :

\'\'I am that person who Bab annunciated . I have come to save the

world from obscenity …\'\'

Shiite leaders assumed such a statement as contradiction to the

story of the twelfth Imam and asked King Nasser –al- Dian to

oppress the new sedition . Baha Allah was captured and exiled to

Ottoman Emperor land accompanied with a group of his loyal

followers after suffering a lot.

The Sunni head didn\'t have a good insight towards him . After

wandering in Bagdad , Adraneh and Istanboul , Baha Allah and his

followers resided in Aka city near Heyfa . After a while , Baha

Allah died and buried in a beautiful Iranian garden . Today it is one

of the biggest temples of Bahai\'s . Abbas Afandi (Abdul Baha) –

Baha Allah\'s successor – could expand Bahai insight organization

across the world by his knowledge and wisdom and could establish

one his greatest delegacies in Chicago . Abdul Baha died in

1921and his followers built a beautiful tomb for him in \'\'Kermel \'\'

heights in Heyfa . Shoghi Afandi became his successor . A group

including nine outstanding people of Bahai cult were elected as

leaders in \'\' Beit –al –adl A\'zam\'\' and it has remained till now .

As we understand from the above mentioned abstract , Bahai

cult is 150 years old . It has lost numerous groups of its followers

in different conflicts . These people\'s enemies have plundered the

ir houses and books and Kidnapped their children and wives and

made their temples called \'\' spiritual coteries \'\' fire in Iran and other

Islamic countries . Thus , the followers of Bahai cult had no way

but being quiet and hiding many years and ignoring their belief ,

sometimes . It is worthy to say that in ups and downs of this period

of time when Muslims were strong , Bahai were suffered from pine

and misery and when a broad-minded system had governed the

country , Bahai could try to cooperate with other citizen to

construct the country and creat innovations .

Some Shiite leaders made a violent speech against Bahai\'s and

made the furious followers come to alleys to remind Bahai\'s the

old pine in May, 1955 [ ordibehesht 1334] . Major General

Batmanghlich the commander of police forces of Tehran sent a

group of soldiers in the street to help people in order to prevent the

conflict but , they demolished Bahai\'s holly house (Hazir –al –

Qods) to keep Tehran city relaxed . Four day after this event , King

called some Shiite leaders to the court and told them :

\'\'Now that I commanded to prevent Bhai\'s and destroy their center,

be quiet from this time on in order for Iran\'s name not to be

insulted in the world .\'\'

17^th of May ,1961 [Ordibehesht , 27,1340] the prime minister,

Asad Allah Alam said in Parliament that he commanded the

governs of provinces and cities to close all the centers of

proselytism for Bahai\'s . Bahi\'s had still their coteries and could

attract the poor to themselves through some generosities . Some

decades ago , they could invite many Jewish families in Hamadan

and kashan to their cult . One of the Jewish people who became

rich and famous was Sabet Pasal Hamadani who was a simple

driver during World WarII and could become one of the rich men

in the country during a short period of time .

The methods of expanding Bahai cult was advancing

gradually and was attracting people through new and efficient

methods among different layers in spite of many difficulties . The

statistics about the followers of this cult which was announcing

dozens, hundreds and thousands a day today are hundreds of

thousands Bahai\'s .it was occasionally heard that they are

exceeding millions of Bahai\'s [!] liberty in businesses , establishing

associations (legal allowance for religious advertisements ) helping

to the poor (running cooperative funds) specially for the young

people who had financial problems for getting married were

efficient means . The organized supports by a group in entering

into governmental offices and help other coreligionists opened the

way to attract more people . It had mostly heard that Hoveyda and

some civilian and military heads in government have joined Bahi

cult .

Hoveyda have announced this story as a forged one , over and

over and he went to Mecca to prove his statements . In this trip ,

Hoveyda did all the actions and deed that Muslims do . But don\'t

forget that some of his relatives lived in \'\' Aka\'\' and \'\'Heyfa\'\' and I

said in previous parts that when he was minister of Tax , he asked

me to help solve his relatives\' problems in Israeel , the other day .

One of famous people in Bahai cult was major General

Dr.Ayadi –special physician of the King –Ayadi was a reputable

officer and was King\'s confidante . He took over the

superintendency of public health of Army and hospitals ,

purchasing drugs and medical devices office for the Army units .

He help his coreligionists with utmost power.

The certificate for entering the purchased drugs from alien

countries that must be transferred to Iranian markets must be

evaluated in a committee in health ministration consisting of a

group of elite physicians and experts . Dr .Ayadi was one of the

members of this committee . I visited him one day to speak about

holding a congress of pharmacists in Armies which would hold in

April , 25, 1960 [Ordibehesht ,5,1339] in Tehran and also about

lieutenant Colonel \'\' Israeel Maharik\'\' who was the commander of

Israeeli troop . As if Ayadi was award of some of Arabic countries

\' representatives in reaction to being Israeeli representative in the

congress . he welcomed colonel Maharik to the congress bravely

and cheerfully . One of the features that had made Ayadi unique

for every one was his loyalty to the King. No one believed that he

asks the King and the King doesn\'t accept . Maybe , because of this

bond between the King and Ayadi , when the country heads

encountered a problem , they asked Ayadi for help and he could

solve the problem. Ayadi adored Bahi\'s so much and believed that

Bahi\'s are pain –stricken and marited to be helped . Additionally ,

the most valuable and the greatest Bahi\'s temples were in Israeel

and Ayadi couldn\'t ignore this obvious event.

One day in the midst 1962[1341] the prime minister Alam

visited \'\'Tedy Koulk\'\' , Jerusalem Mayor , in Tehran and accepted

his suggestion and appointed Mahdi Sheybani as superintendent of

Tourism system of the country . Sheybani\'s wife was Senator

Namazi\'s daughter who was one of Ayadi\'s intimate friends . I had

sat near Ayadi in one of family visiting and I was speaking about

the cooperation of Israeeli experts in the field of his

superintendency . Several days later , Ayadi called our experts to

Iran and entered into a contract with them to provide fruit , chicken

and egg for the Army and to build exemplary villages and aviary

for the Army . And Ayadi helped Israeeli businessmen and experts

to provide fruit for the Army and to build exemplary villages and

aviary for different units .

One day when Bahai heads in Iran were going to visit their

temples in Israeel with his followers , Major General Ayadi asked

me to investigate removing the difficulties of receiving nine-day

public visa for Bahai\'s . (one visa for all ninety visiting Bahi\'s ).

The number nine and nineteen are heavenly signals in Bahai cult .

Bahai\'s consider 19 days for a month and months for a year by

receiving public visas , not only they spent less expenses;but also ,

most intercourses would decrease and also visiting groups would

increase .

Major general Ayadi\'s request was consulted the ministry of

foreign affairs in Israeel by me . I announced him the suggested

method . It was difficult a bit , but there was no choice . The

attendant of the executive committee for Bahai\'s affairs in Iran

must attach a letter to each visa and must commit to take over the

responsibility for possible hurt for each visitor from the first day of

their arrived to Israeel to the day when they exit this country .

When I clarified all the security details and the requirement for

such a method for that event for General Ayadi and his several

coreligionists , they accepted and we used such method for years

and didn\'t encounter any problem . Because of the friendship with

Ayadi , I became familiar with a group of famous people of the

country and I didn\'t believe that they were Bahai\'s . Most of them

were so firm in their beliefs but they could hide their beliefs

against others . They had all found out that it wasn\'t needed to hide

their beliefs against me .

On e day , Ayadi invited me to his house for breakfast . He

want to speak about a wonderful secret with me . That it didn\'t

need administrative meetings . The chitchats finished . Eventually

he added in depressing manner:

In one of his visit to Shiraz , Hadrat Baha Allah planted a sour

orange seeding in his house . It has been green for the past two

years . but unfortunately the tree has become sick and its leaves

are bone – dry . We had heard that the Japanese are the best

experts of citrus trees specially sour orange in the world . Two best

Japanese experts came and examined the tree for four month but

couldn\'t find solution for it . Nobody can understand why must the

tree which was planted by Baha Allah become bone-day?

I suggest him to sell the house and to forget the story,

but General Ayadi became distressful . He nervously asked me to

save the half –dead tree. I consulted with agriculture experts in

Israeel . They surprised that the Japanese couldn\'t diagnose the

sickness of the tree . One day , we went to Shiraz accompanied

with Ezra Danin and two experts from agriculture ministration to

visit the tree . In the first step , they found out that the roots of the

tree have struck to the veins of gatch , stone and salt and the roots

were worn out . They pierced round the tree gently and their doubt

was correct . They pierced the veins of gatch and stone and

replaced it by desirable soil . After a while, Hadrat Baha Allah\'s

tree came to life again . Ayadi and his friends became so happy .

Nine leaders of Bahai\'s from the committee of Bahai\'s in Iran

invited me to a ceremony of visiting the trees in Shiraz .They were

so happy as if God has bestowed them the world .
