According to history, this attachment, relationship and dependence goes back the time when Sheikism thought was emerged and the Russian intelligent service paid attention to the Excellency Ali Muhammad Bab and raised him to announce being pillar in Shiraz city. From the beginning, this attachment was done for the Iranian nations to be exploited. According to history, during king Naseruddin’s assassination, the Babism movement was supported by the Colonialism and the first Baha’ism leaders was saved. Definitely, these events weren’t and aren’t accidental. Now, the 21st century, a modern Baha’ism is attached to the Colonialism led by a group called the universal house of justice without paying attention to the fact that the recent community is more different than the one existed 150 years ago.
Anyway, while all countries even the human right organizations and communities are complaining the crimes of the occupying regime of Israel and taking strong stands against this regime and its supporters, the silence of a faith boasting the principle of general peace is meaningless! It is definitely concluded that history will be repeated. The Baha’ism which had been silent against the crimes of occupiers and the Colonialist in Iran before is silent against the crimes committing by its landlord, Israel, now.
In order to figure out the obvious and hidden relationships, we glance at the repeated visits between the Baha’ism heads and Zionist regime officials:
1) Amy, 19, 1951 when the prime minister of Israel Ben Gurion went to America. Four Baha’i people in charge visited him there ordered by Shoqi Effendi and appreciated.[1]
2) February, 1, 1954, the vice president and the secretary general of the Baha’i international board visited the president of Israel. During the visit, Shoqi Effendi invited Ben-Zvi to visit the Baha’i centers and tombs along with his wife. So, he visited the Baha’i centers on April, 26, 1954.[2]
3) Nearly 10 years later, April, 7, 1964 the then president of Israel Zalman Shazar visited the Baha’i centers along with his wife and welcomed by members of the universal house of justice.[3]
4) During the second round of the universal house of justice elections, several heads of Baha’ism visited the president of Israel. It indicated the importance of the universal house of justice for Israel[4].
5) On July, 5, 1998, the parliament speaker of the Zionistic regime visited the Baha’i centers in Heyfa and asked for freedom of action for the followers of the cult in Iran.[5]
6) The last visit is Benjamin Netanyahu’s one along with his wife on October, 2017[6].
