Shoqi Effendi and the establishment of the occupier regime of Israel
Bahaismiran:
A year before the establishment of the usurper Zionistic regime, Shoqi Effendi announced on July 14, 1947 in a letter to the committee investigating Palestine issue in the United Nations: “Just the Jewish are interested in Palestine like Baha’is because, the remins of their holy temple exist in Jerusalem and in the ancient era the city has been the center for the religious and political institutions.[1]â€
After the establishment of the Israeli government, he expressed his opinion about the establishment of the usurper Zionistic regime of Israel on May, 1948 in the new year message on the year 108 Badi’a: “The divine promise was done and transferred to the offspring of Ibraham and Moses (P.H.) and the Israeli government settled and is proud with the independence and originality of the Baha’i faith.[2]â€
After the establishment of the government, Israel tried to make up for the Baha’is services. So, Shoqi Effendi considers Israel as the provider of Baha’is facilities[3]. Israel announced: “The Israeli government doesn’t assess duties on the construction materials of Ali Muhammad Bab’s shrine.[4]â€
This is the secret of free of charge privileges for Baha’ism: Because of the great services of Baha’ism to Zionism, the English support by Abdul Baha during the occupation of Palestine[5] and also Shoqi’s support in establishing the Israeli government. So, Israel debt Baha’ism.
