Thus, some interviewees associated with local groups maintained that they “may have been” forced to sell, whereas others said so with certainty.

I understand that Shogi Effendi, the Guardian of the faith, bought the majority of the land for the Gardens on Mount Carmel in 1950. It should have been apparent to him that some of that land must have belonged to the Palestinian Arab population which had fled Haifa in 1948 because of the massacrtes carried out by the Zionist terrorist groups the Irgun, the Stern Gang and the Hagenah, which eventually became the Israeli Defence (Offence) Force. The Palestinian Arab population in Haifa in January 1948 was 65,000. After the massacres on 21 and 22 April 1948, that population was reduced to 3,000. These people had fled to save their lives from the ultra aggressive Zionists. There had also been massacres in Haifa in 1937, and 1947. As you probably know, 750,000 Palestinians were forced from their land in 1948. This was all to do with the threat posed by the Zionists to the life and limb of Palestinians by their reign of terror. My question would be, how could a supposedly very intelligent and highly moral man buy land, when he knew that by the law of averages, some of that land must have belonged to dispossessed Palestinians. I find it very oxymoronic that the Bahaii Faith has a building in the garden complex on Mount Carmel, called the International House of Justice. Despite the genocide being carried out by the Israeli State, the International House of Justice has said nothing about the massacres taking place daily in Gaza and the West Bank. I understand that the Bahaiis dont generally comment on politics in any country. But surely this situation is above politics. I also understand a reluctance to comment, because your complex is in the belly of the beast and that beast could very easily turn on the Bahaiis and start slaughtering them. I suggest that you should get the majority of the volunteers to leave the complex and explain why Israel must stop slaughtering Palestinians. Otherwise stand on the sidelines while the psychotic Israelis slaughter as many Palestinians as they can. If that happens, I am sure they will get around to Bahaiis at some stage.
TH-cam keep deleting my question. How can you build gardens on the land of dispossessed people. Shogi Effendi bought this land in 1950, two years after 62,000 people fled for their lives, never to return. Your international house of justice has been silent about all the injustices being perpetrated in your vicinity. By you know who. Cowards.

@@NaserEmtesali most of the properties were purchased prior to the establishment of the State of Israel. Many Baha'is lived in Palestine and owned property. When they left, they donated their property to the Faith.
@@janicecockrell6538 _In the late nineteenth century, Badi'a Effendi of Acre (one of the principal benefactors of the Bahai faith) began buying into Isfiyya's masha'a lands with the consent of the Mukhtar and the village elders. Ultimately he acquired about one fourth of the total. In the mid 1920's he sold the titles to the Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet) without consulting the villagers (cf. Granovsky 1931:table 8). When the villagers discovered this they decided to end the periodic redistributions of the land in order to benefit from the law granting title to anyone who could prove continuous cultivation for ten years._ (Scott Atran, Hamula Organisation and Masha'a Tenure in Palestine, 1986)
What a painful thing…… it’s not yours …Haifa or(حيفا) it’s Palestinian city ….. that is my country that is our country. This is the fact, the fact which cannot be changed.You took this land in heinous and bloody ways
Only Baha'is can donate to the Baha'i funds. We donate to our local, national and international funds. Much of the work is done by volunteers. We don't have clergy, so individuals are elected to institutions that administer the affairs of the Faith. Those who work full time for the institutions are paid a modest salary. Everyone else is a volunteer.

What an obsession with Palestine. Every video about Israel talks about Palestine???? Get over it. There’s no Palestine. You can stand something that doesn’t exist 😂😂😂😂😂
The Bahá'í Faith fulfills the prophecies of Islam for the promised Qá'im and/or Mahdi. If you refuse to investigate it, you'll be doing the same as those who rejected Muhammad when He came. The Qurán prophesies more Messengers. It's interesting how so many Muslims, though not all, have ignored that passage and think God is finished with us. If God never changes, what makes you think He would stop sending His Messengers when he always did before? Just curious.
They bought the lands long before the 20th century conflicts began. They were in Akka because the prophet founder of the Baha'i Faith was exiled there in 1868 by the Persian and Ottoman authorities. Akka at that time was a penal colony. As the number of believers grew, and their prisoner statuses relaxed, lands were bought in the vicinity of Akka and Haifa.
Almost all the early believers in the Bábí and Bahá'í Revelations were Muslims. Thousands of them were tortured and/or killed for their beliefs, including the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. There are still Bahá'ís being imprisoned for their beliefs. You have to be very courageous and dedicated to accept the Faith if you're a Muslim, but it does happen.
your gardans and holy buildings are stunningly beautiful...but you do realise that while these gardens are maintained with water there is water being forcibly taken away by israeli military from palestinian farmers and homes...many of the origional people of this land suffer daily from water cuts and life without hardly any water... 1 of your religion's main principles is equality of men and women, yet there you are praying, worshipping and meditating in beautiful gardens but that are totaly unequal to the human mankind nearby. Where is the truth that bahaism calls for in this situation??
Maybe some of the work that you do for the benefit of mankind could include helping the poor people in the surrounding area eg meals and low cost accommodation.
The Baha'is do so much service to mankind in tens of thousands of theatres, in every country in myriad of social discourses. Think about it.. another one of our principles is the Oneness, the Unity of All Mankind. Maybe you should do some research about our Faith before drawing snap conclusions. And poor people do not need your pity and divisive words, they need the action of economic development opportunities and grassroots education that volunteer Baha'i individuals and groups provide in villages all over the globe
@@guyreid9149 dont talk to fast and pass judgement on what you know nothing of... 1st of all i am very well informed about the Bahai faith, and what this community does... 2ndly ypu seem totaly unaware of the truth and realities of whats going on in most Palestinian communities...there is foreced oppression, collective punishment, unjust arrests, harrasment, destruction of homes, cutting of water supplies to farms and homes, blocking freedom of movement to jobs and education...the list is loooong.
Bahá'u'lláh is the Father. We can't be Bahá'ís without believing in Jesus. Remember when Jesus said He would return with a new name in the Glory of the Father? Bahá'u'lláh means "Glory of God." For many of us, the Bible with all its prophecies led us to search out this new Revelation. Did you think God forgot about all those prophecies and only sent one Manifestation of His names and attributes 2,000 years ago? God does still care for His children and has sent us guidance for our time and for our level of maturity. I hope you will investigate it for yourself.
@@AdoptedCats Yes, and I believe what the Bible says of Him. He promised to return in the Glory of the Father, which I believe has happened in the Person of Bahá'u'lláh. Yes, Jesus is God in that He manifests God's attributes and qualities, but the Bible also tells us "God is not a man..." (Num. 23:19), and Jesus said He had been "sent by God" (John 3:34). He also said, "No one has seen God at any time...." (John 5:37), and Romans 1:19 says God is manifest in Him. We believe God has been manifested many times, in Moses, for example, whom Jesus affirmed. The Bible prophesied He would return with a new name (Rev. 2:17), and I believe He has, having come as a thief in the night while most in the household still sleep. We do have the opportunity to wake up and examine the evidence, however, since Bahá'u'lláh wrote down His Revelation and historians recorded His life. Besides, it was recent enough (1817-1892) that years ago I even met someone who knew Him well. What a bounty! It wouldn't hurt to investigate the matter, @doviid2691. You can always turn away from Bahá'u'lláh if you don't find His life and teachings of value to you. God never forces us to believe although for me at least, the evidence was so compelling, I could not possibly have turned away.
You do know, handledav, that people of all religions always call the next Revelation false, right? They crucified Jesus under false pretenses. They persecuted Muhammad under false pretenses. They persecuted (and executed) the Báb under false pretenses. They persecuted Bahá'u'lláh under false pretenses. So you're just doing what they all did, right? Only on a message board. LOL I have to wonder if someone persecuted you for your religion, would you be as courageous and self-sacrificing as the Prophet-Founders of the Bahá'í Faith were? One of my main proofs of Bahá'u'lláh's claim is that in spite of *40 YEARS* of persecution, including imprisonment, torture, and banishment, He never wavered. He never said, "Um, I've had enough of THIS garbage. I quit." _No, He did not._ He just kept going, revealing 7 million words of inspiring Divine Revelation, until He finally succumbed in exile in Palestine. No one suffers like that for a lie. You might want to tear off the veils and examine His Cause. It couldn't hurt _you._
@Paul Victorius Just to correct two misunderstandings: 1. Bahá'ís do not believe in pantheism. They believe in the one God Who reveals Himself through His specially chosen (and prophesied) Messengers, which we Bahá'ís call Manifestations of God. The Bahá'ís worship God and have no idols. There are no sculptures or pictures of its Founder in any of its temples or shrines around the world. 2. The Founder of the Bahá'í Religion, Bahá'u'lláh, like most of the Messengers of God, was persecuted, tortured and imprisoned for His teachings of love and tolerance, and was then banished by the Ottoman government to its notorious prison city in Akká. After the collapse of the Ottoman government, the Bahá'ís were permitted to buy land on Mount Carmel (Elijah's cave is also there) in order to bury the Báb, the Herold of the Bahá'í-Religion. This was in 1909 and it was just a very simple building at the time. Since then the Bahá'ís have continued to beautify the Shrine and the mountain itself. The state of Israel did not exist until 1949, so it is absolutely wrong to accuse the state of Israel for allowing the Shrine to be built; however it does permit the Bahá'ís to continue its beautifications on the land it owns, just as it allows Christians and Muslims to have their sacred areas.
@messenger ministries Baha’u’llah was exiled, banished to Palestine/Israel as a prisoner of the Persian and Ottoman governments in 1868, the last in a series of banishments that began in 1853. You might enjoy reading the history of his life as well as his own writings.

It should have been apparent to him that some of that land must have belonged to the Palestinian Arab population which had fled Haifa in 1948 because of the massacrtes carried out by the Zionist terrorist groups the Irgun, the Stern Gang and the Hagenah, which eventually became the Israeli Defence (Offence) Force. The Palestinian Arab population in Haifa in January 1948 was 65,000. After the massacres on 21 and 22 April 1948, that population was reduced to 3,000. These people had fled to save their lives from the ultra aggressive Zionists. There had also been massacres in Haifa in 1937, and 1947.
As you probably know, 750,000 Palestinians were forced from their land in 1948. This was all to do with the threat posed by the Zionists to the life and limb of Palestinians by their reign of terror.
My question would be, how could a supposedly very intelligent and highly moral man buy land, when he knew that by the law of averages, some of that land must have belonged to dispossessed Palestinians.
I find it very oxymoronic that the Bahaii Faith has a building in the garden complex on Mount Carmel, called the International House of Justice. Despite the genocide being carried out by the Israeli State, the International House of Justice has said nothing about the massacres taking place daily in Gaza and the West Bank.
I understand that the Bahaiis dont generally comment on politics in any country. But surely this situation is above politics. I also understand a reluctance to comment, because your complex is in the belly of the beast and that beast could very easily turn on the Bahaiis and start slaughtering them. I suggest that you should get the majority of the volunteers to leave the complex and explain why Israel must stop slaughtering Palestinians.
Otherwise stand on the sidelines while the psychotic Israelis slaughter as many Palestinians as they can. If that happens, I am sure they will get around to Bahaiis at some stage.
TH-cam keep deleting my question. How can you build gardens on the land of dispossessed people. Shogi Effendi bought this land in 1950, two years after 62,000 people fled for their lives, never to return. Your international house of justice has been silent about all the injustices being perpetrated in your vicinity. By you know who. Cowards.

There has been decades of relentless repression and persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
Prosecution. They don't follow the laws of Iran. Teaching the Baha'i faith is totally banned in Iran.
@@NaserEmtesali No, it’s more like just existing is the problem. Baha’ism is considered to be heretical.
@@sydpatrice4491 Not just because they are heretics. Because they have a very violent history. Their predecessor (the Babi religion) is responsible for at least 3 civil wars and killing of thousands of Iranians. Today Baha'is are working to establish a Baha'i Super-State, a Baha'i inspired New World Order, so again they are not the very safe people. Only Israel can tackle them.

@@NaserEmtesali most of the properties were purchased prior to the establishment of the State of Israel. Many Baha'is lived in Palestine and owned property. When they left, they donated their property to the Faith.
@@janicecockrell6538 _In the late nineteenth century, Badi'a Effendi of Acre (one of the principal benefactors of the Bahai faith) began buying into Isfiyya's masha'a lands with the consent of the Mukhtar and the village elders. Ultimately he acquired about one fourth of the total. In the mid 1920's he sold the titles to the Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet) without consulting the villagers (cf. Granovsky 1931:table 8). When the villagers discovered this they decided to end the periodic redistributions of the land in order to benefit from the law granting title to anyone who could prove continuous cultivation for ten years._

So who is paying for all this is they members don't pay money to the central seats?
Only Baha'is can donate to the Baha'i funds. We donate to our local, national and international funds. Much of the work is done by volunteers. We don't have clergy, so individuals are elected to institutions that administer the affairs of the Faith. Those who work full time for the institutions are paid a modest salary. Everyone else is a volunteer.
@@janicecockrell6538 That's incorrect. Baha'is take tax benefits from the Israeli government.

Baha'i Faith is the Most Recent God's Word. Islam was also true in its time and still is but the Baha'i Faith is the most recent God's Cause.
@snowleopard3470 I agree with you brother bahai is a gate to jahannam
The Bahá'í Faith fulfills the prophecies of Islam for the promised Qá'im and/or Mahdi. If you refuse to investigate it, you'll be doing the same as those who rejected Muhammad when He came. The Qurán prophesies more Messengers. It's interesting how so many Muslims, though not all, have ignored that passage and think God is finished with us. If God never changes, what makes you think He would stop sending His Messengers when he always did before? Just curious.
One Day I Will Visit India, I don't know who will be PM Then? Mr. Modi or Rahul.
how did they acquire the land? nakba? hmmmmmmmm
They bought it.
They bought the lands long before the 20th century conflicts began. They were in Akka because the prophet founder of the Baha'i Faith was exiled there in 1868 by the Persian and Ottoman authorities. Akka at that time was a penal colony. As the number of believers grew, and their prisoner statuses relaxed, lands were bought in the vicinity of Akka and Haifa.
Lol stop messing
I am Muslim to convart Bahi pelles hellp mi
Almost all the early believers in the Bábí and Bahá'í Revelations were Muslims. Thousands of them were tortured and/or killed for their beliefs, including the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. There are still Bahá'ís being imprisoned for their beliefs. You have to be very courageous and dedicated to accept the Faith if you're a Muslim, but it does happen.
Witchcraft of high grade..
your gardans and holy buildings are stunningly beautiful...but you do realise that while these gardens are maintained with water there is water being forcibly taken away by israeli military from palestinian farmers and homes...many of the origional people of this land suffer daily from water cuts and life without hardly any water... 1 of your religion's main principles is equality of men and women, yet there you are praying, worshipping and meditating in beautiful gardens but that are totaly unequal to the human mankind nearby. Where is the truth that bahaism calls for in this situation??
😊U ain't been reading much either😁
@@raokumaran6187 pray what you preach!!
aint is not a proper word.🤣
Maybe some of the work that you do for the benefit of mankind could include helping the poor people in the surrounding area eg meals and low cost accommodation.
The Baha'is do so much service to mankind in tens of thousands of theatres, in every country in myriad of social discourses. Think about it.. another one of our principles is the Oneness, the Unity of All Mankind. Maybe you should do some research about our Faith before drawing snap conclusions. And poor people do not need your pity and divisive words, they need the action of economic development opportunities and grassroots education that volunteer Baha'i individuals and groups provide in villages all over the globe
@@guyreid9149 dont talk to fast and pass judgement on what you know nothing of...
1st of all i am very well informed about the Bahai faith, and what this community does...
2ndly ypu seem totaly unaware of the truth and realities of whats going on in most Palestinian communities...there is foreced oppression, collective punishment, unjust arrests, harrasment, destruction of homes, cutting of water supplies to farms and homes, blocking freedom of movement to jobs and education...the list is loooong.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6
🤦🏻♀️
Bahá'u'lláh is the Father. We can't be Bahá'ís without believing in Jesus. Remember when Jesus said He would return with a new name in the Glory of the Father? Bahá'u'lláh means "Glory of God." For many of us, the Bible with all its prophecies led us to search out this new Revelation. Did you think God forgot about all those prophecies and only sent one Manifestation of His names and attributes 2,000 years ago? God does still care for His children and has sent us guidance for our time and for our level of maturity. I hope you will investigate it for yourself.
@@wendyscott8425 Do you believe Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
Jesus is God
@@AdoptedCats Yes, and I believe what the Bible says of Him. He promised to return in the Glory of the Father, which I believe has happened in the Person of Bahá'u'lláh. Yes, Jesus is God in that He manifests God's attributes and qualities, but the Bible also tells us "God is not a man..." (Num. 23:19), and Jesus said He had been "sent by God" (John 3:34). He also said, "No one has seen God at any time...." (John 5:37), and Romans 1:19 says God is manifest in Him. We believe God has been manifested many times, in Moses, for example, whom Jesus affirmed.
The Bible prophesied He would return with a new name (Rev. 2:17), and I believe He has, having come as a thief in the night while most in the household still sleep. We do have the opportunity to wake up and examine the evidence, however, since Bahá'u'lláh wrote down His Revelation and historians recorded His life. Besides, it was recent enough (1817-1892) that years ago I even met someone who knew Him well. What a bounty!
It wouldn't hurt to investigate the matter, @doviid2691. You can always turn away from Bahá'u'lláh if you don't find His life and teachings of value to you. God never forces us to believe although for me at least, the evidence was so compelling, I could not possibly have turned away.
😅😅😅😅
Hellfire forever
false
False is your identity.
You do know, handledav, that people of all religions always call the next Revelation false, right? They crucified Jesus under false pretenses. They persecuted Muhammad under false pretenses. They persecuted (and executed) the Báb under false pretenses. They persecuted Bahá'u'lláh under false pretenses. So you're just doing what they all did, right? Only on a message board. LOL I have to wonder if someone persecuted you for your religion, would you be as courageous and self-sacrificing as the Prophet-Founders of the Bahá'í Faith were?
One of my main proofs of Bahá'u'lláh's claim is that in spite of *40 YEARS* of persecution, including imprisonment, torture, and banishment, He never wavered. He never said, "Um, I've had enough of THIS garbage. I quit." _No, He did not._ He just kept going, revealing 7 million words of inspiring Divine Revelation, until He finally succumbed in exile in Palestine. No one suffers like that for a lie. You might want to tear off the veils and examine His Cause. It couldn't hurt _you._
It’s historically more associated to the baal worship
Historically it has nothing to do with Baal worship. It arose in the 19th century in Persia.
@Paul Victorius the Baha'i Faith is explicitly monotheistic and certainly not pantheism.
@Paul Victorius Just to correct two misunderstandings: 1. Bahá'ís do not believe in pantheism. They believe in the one God Who reveals Himself through His specially chosen (and prophesied) Messengers, which we Bahá'ís call Manifestations of God. The Bahá'ís worship God and have no idols. There are no sculptures or pictures of its Founder in any of its temples or shrines around the world. 2. The Founder of the Bahá'í Religion, Bahá'u'lláh, like most of the Messengers of God, was persecuted, tortured and imprisoned for His teachings of love and tolerance, and was then banished by the Ottoman government to its notorious prison city in Akká. After the collapse of the Ottoman government, the Bahá'ís were permitted to buy land on Mount Carmel (Elijah's cave is also there) in order to bury the Báb, the Herold of the Bahá'í-Religion. This was in 1909 and it was just a very simple building at the time. Since then the Bahá'ís have continued to beautify the Shrine and the mountain itself. The state of Israel did not exist until 1949, so it is absolutely wrong to accuse the state of Israel for allowing the Shrine to be built; however it does permit the Bahá'ís to continue its beautifications on the land it owns, just as it allows Christians and Muslims to have their sacred areas.
@Paul Victorius racist af lowkey
@messenger ministries Baha’u’llah was exiled, banished to Palestine/Israel as a prisoner of the Persian and Ottoman governments in 1868, the last in a series of banishments that began in 1853. You might enjoy reading the history of his life as well as his own writings.
