4. Postcards
Count Dracula ,   Los Angeles USA   (12.03.06)
How wonderful these old photos and messages. Memories of a much more peaceful time. There are many posts in these talkbacks with the stated fact that there was never a "Palestine". Strange. From where was the first card from Haifa mailed in 1908.?

Van Helsing   (12.03.06)
Dracula, Nobody claims that the word "Palestine" did not exist before the 20th Century. "Palestine" was the Roman term for the geographic terrority of Judea and Trans-Jordan, imposed by the Romans after they exiled the Jewish people from the Land in an attempt to erase the memory of the Sovereignty of the Jewish people in the Land by renaming the terroritory after the then-extinct Philistines. FACT: The only Sovereign states ever to exist on the geographic territory of Israel have been the Kingdom of Israel, and the modern Democratic Republic of Israel. There has NEVER existed a sovereign state of "Palestine". Before the State of Israel was REESTABLISHED in 1948, the geographic territory of Israel and Trans-Jordan was called "Palestine" by the League of Nations, and was governed by the British Mandate. Before that it was a neglected backwater of the Ottoman Empire for several centuries. Arabs don't even pronounce "Palestine" correctly - there is no "p" sound in Arabic, so they call it "Falestin".

I enjoyed all postcards. I have many myself. Do they have any value?

Count Dracular ,   Los Angeles   (12.04.06)
To Van Helsing, thanks for your comments. Does anyone know what is referenced by the "seven stations" relative to card N0.5?
8. value in our memories
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.04.06)
Aliza, I do not know if the originals have value, but their reproduction on the Web surely has value to all the people who would enjoy seeing them. Perhaps you can have them scanned and placed on a Web page. It would be greatly appreciated by many round the world!

10. Reply to #6 - postcards
Julian Gecelter ,   Johannesburg, SA   (12.11.06)
Many cards do have some value - most of these in this collection shown individually dont have great financial value but as a historical collection and that they appear to be related as as part of one corresspondence certainly do have value. Also, depends where and how they were used.
