Cover – Israeli Letter Banned in Poland ”Stamp Glorifies War” – 6 Day War 1967 - This piece of mail was refused because it bears an Israeli stamp honoring free passage through the Straits of Tiran. That was a major achievement of the war, but only because Egypt had closed it to Israeli shipping. Poland's excuse? The Universal Postal Union bans stamps that glorify war. That's quoted in the rubber-stamped remarks on the left. Very good condition. Item from the collections of Jacob Yablok - VirtualJewishmuseum.com. The item is placed in a quality proactive nylon sleeve and can be easily and safely taken out from the display page. Displayed on a thin cardboard sheet with an explanation on the background of Israel's flag.
