Ali Reza Rouzbahani is investigating the problem of Baha’im and its position in the hostile policy of the Zionistic regime in the book “the analysis and criticism of Bahaism” published by the center for the Islamic researches of Radio and television of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The following is a part of the book text: The bond between Baha’ism and Colonialism.
The close relationship and cooperation between the Zionists and the system of the leadership of Baha’ism are as long as this cult’s lifetime. The roots of relationship and intimacy between these two cancerous glands go back to the years prior the establishment of the Zionistic government when the founders of the usurp Zionistic regime of Israel tried to usurp Palestine land in order for Baha’ism and Israel to have good relationships today.
Ben-Zvi, the first president of Israel has visited Abdul Baha and spoken and reminded it satisfactory when the government of Israel hadn’t been established.
When Arabs particularly the Muslim people of Palestine were bury fighting against Zionism and England, the Baha’s had constituted friendly relationships with these two aggressive governments; because they knew well that if Arab Muslims gain power of Palestine government, they will confront the Baha’is due to their disgrace against Islam and announcing it as null and claiming for new prophet and book and claiming for the leaders of the cult as Gods like other Muslim lands.
The Baha’is considered a bond between their fate and Israel’s one. The Baha’i leaders have continually announced this reality in various Baha’i books and periodicals again and again. This issue is clear in writings remained by Abdul Baha. Years before the establishment of Israeli government, Abdul Baha considered the fate of Zionism as shared with Baha’is:
“Here is Palestine. The lands are holy. Soon, the Jewish tribe will return to these lands. They will possess David kingdom and Solomon Israeli the
magnificence. This is one of the divine promises undoubtedly. The Jewish tribe will be cherished. It will come under the shadow of the faith. All these bare lands will be habitable. All the Jewish will gather together, undoubtedly. The highest position will be built in the best manner. The divine prophet’s prayers and incantations won’t be wasted. All divine promises will be fulfilled. The Jewish captivity, wandering and dispersion will be changed into superficial esteem.”
Shogi Effendi also announced in the message of congratulating the new year, 1329 S.H., addressing the Baha’is.
“The instance of the divine promise to Khalil offspring and Kalim heirs is clear and obvious and Israel government has been established.”
Mrs. Rouhieh Maxwell has also said:
“I prefer the youngest religions (Baha’ism) to be grown and developed in the newest countries in the world. As a matter of fact, it should be said that our future (Baha’ism and Israel) is bond like the loops of a chain. ”
The reasons for supporting Baha’ism by Israel:
۱) Economic:
Traveling Baha’is to Israel boomed tourism industry in this country due to the existence of central organizations and the tombs of the founders and leaders of Baha’ism. On the other side, the followers of Baha’ism invested variously in this country due to their attachments with their leaders’ Kiblah and tombs; so this is a long-time investment and beneficial one for the Zionists.
۲) Advertising
The advertising value of Baha’ism organization for Israel was more than the economic one; because hating the Jewish by mist Islamic countries at that period of time prevented Zionism to advertise directly, while the Baha’is could advertise directly for the Jewish having unique and coherent management.
۳) intelligent service.
To expand its influence in the Islamic countries, Israel was using the Baha’i elements dispersing in the countries in the Middle East. Imam Khomeini (P.H.) didn’t consider the Baha’is as Baha’i but as bigoted and loyal Jewish people who have helped Israel fulfilling the aims of universal Zionism more than others.
