As professor Norman Newich (former prosecutor and one of the judicial political characters of the Israel government) has said concerning recognizing Baha’ism officially: “Now, Palestine can’t be assumed as the land of three religions, indeed. However, it must be considered as the center for four religions because the Baha’i faith whose center is in Heifa and Acre as its followers’ pantheons have been developed so much that they have become as the universal and international religion position.[1]”
Nevertheless, concerning recognizing Baha’ism officially by Israel, why have the Baha’i leaders excluded Israelis out of this rule alongside with their insistence on the necessity for proselytizing[2]?! Additionally why isn’t each Baha’i person allowed to invite even one Jewish one to his/her faith[3]?! Then, why are the Baha’i organization heads responsible for regulating the monopoly of some special followers in this land?[4] Yes; undoubtedly, Israel looks over Baha’ism as a forged creed whose followers are obliged to be this regime’s spies.
