notability.(December 2019) ) |
Palestinian Baháʼís are Palestinians who practise the Baháʼí Faith. The Palestinian Baháʼís constitute one of the earliest Baháʼí Faith practitioners due to the fact that two of the holiest Baháʼí cities, Haifa and Acre, are located in places where Palestinians previously constituted a significant proportion of the population prior to the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight. The contemporary ban on seeking proselytizing to Israelis was originally conceived of as a ban on proselytizing to Palestinians.[1] During the Mandatory Palestine period, Palestinians Baháʼís were one of eight categories as options on the censuses carried out by the former British protectorate.[2]
According to
Abrahamic religion, but thereafter converted to the Baháʼí Faith.[4]
