Conversation between General Allenby and Abdul Baha

General Allenby


It appears that General Allenby, Commander-in-Chief of the British forces, had called upon him at Haifa a week ago and at the Master's wish had driven with him to Acre and taken tea at Bahje, outside the city. The party included Lady Allenby, General Bols, Chief of the General Staff, and also Colonel Staunton, Military Governor of Haifa, who has become a firm friend and promises to do all possible for Abdul Baha and the Movement generally. I cannot report the intensely interesting conversation between General Allenby and Abdul Baha, because it was of a private nature. Sufficient to say, that the Commander-in-Chief was deeply impressed, and asked for literature on the Baha'i Movement, with which I have since provided him. Abdul Baha has now been visited by all the important military personages in Palestine, including the Commander-in-Chief, General Sir Arthur Money, Chief Administrator, General Ronald Storrs, Military Governor of Jerusalem, and many military heads of departments, to say nothing of a constant flow of officers and men who call upon him daily.

Ben Zvi (a Zionist activist and later the president of Israel) has confessed to his meeting (along with his wife) with Abbas Afandi in the Behji Palace (in Akka) and put the date of the meeting between 1909-1910, some forty years before the establishment of Israel (1948) which shows the strategic depth of the relations between Bahai heads and Zionists. Historical evidences also show the relations between Abbas Afandi with members of the Rochild Family who were the main organizers and investors of the plot for settlement of Jews in Palestine. So, why do Zionists support Bahai Faith to such an extent? Did t
