Baha’i Israel Relations: More than meets the eye!

One of the very important chapters in the political record of Baha’i Faith is the sincere relations and close cooperation of the leaders of the sect with Zionists in general and the occupier regime of Ghods in particular. History bears witness that the relations between the Baha’i leaders with Zionism has a record much longer than the life of the “Israeli regime”. Ben Zvi (a Zionist activist and later the president of Israel) has confessed to his meeting (along with his wife) with Abbas Afandi in the Behji Palace (in Akka) and put the date of the meeting between 1909-1910, some forty years before the establishment of Israel (1948) which shows the strategic depth of the relations between Baha’i heads and Zionists. Historical evidences also show the relations between Abbas Afandi with members of the Rochild Family who were the main organizers and investors of the plot for settlement of Jews in Palestine.

So, why do Zionists support Baha’i Faith to such an extent?

Did the “selfish and merchant” Zionists sacrifice themselves for this sect just for nothing! and without any expectation? The reality is that Baha’is serve Zionists and their sprout, Israel, with all their potentials in return for their supports and in addition to collecting financial aid and sending for this regime they smuggle and illegally import Israeli goods into Iran thus trying to flourish the dying economy of the regime. It is surprising that in their sites and media and against this question (or protest) concerning the relations of the sect with Israel , the Baha’is impudently claim that there is no relation between the sect and the Zionists and occupiers of Palestine and the centrality of the Baitul Adl (House of Justice, Baha’i Faith Headquarters) in Israel is totally accidental! and it has nothing to do with the common interests of the two parties!. Indeed when Baha’ism tie its fate to that of Zionism in this way, it cannot claim that the setting up of the headquarter of this sect in Israel is simply due to the existence of the graves of the leaders of the sect in the occupied Palestine, and for this reason Israel has turned into the Qibla of Baha’is.
