Description: 1969 Communist Bloc unsanctioned Israeli military franks on mail: 16 April 1969 postmarked airmail First Day Cover for Israel's Independence Day, sent from JERUSALEM (return addressed DIMONA) to BUCAREST Romania; franked 0.95 Lira with tabbed set of 1969 Independence Day stamp issue (Ba #422-423) for the 0.50L postage rate & tied by full strikes of the illustrated JERUSALEM-79 postmark; backstamped 23 April arrival + Romanian numbered sorting office handstamp - unusual mail as Romania participated in the Communist Bloc's anti-Israeli "postkrieg" campaign of refusing postal service for Israeli letters bearing "militaristic" stamps or stamps recalling Israel's victory in the 1967 Six Day War, under the allegation of these violating the UPU's regulation pertaining to "glorification of military aggression" (those letters would be refused service and returned to sender); here this overtly celebratory cover was accepted unsanctioned. --- Most of our merchandise ships out from Israel | orders are combined | additional items are charged 75c: DOMESTIC services available are Registered mail (default) and courier mail.
