A telegram that was sent to the general management of the "Anglo-Palestine" bank, on August 5, 1948. English.
The telegram describes the process of printing the first banknotes of the State of Israel and their arrival in Israel. The banknotes were printed when it was still uncertain whether an independent state will indeed be established and what its name will be and therefore, they were printed without indicting the name "Israel". Presumably, the telegram was sent by a representative of the bank who was abroad at the time.
16.5X18.5 cm. Fair condition. Torn filing holes and several additional small tears. Creases. Stamps and ink smudges.
Provenance: The Rimon Family Collection.

"Hakol al Kafr Qassem" [All about Kafr Qassem], one-time edition. Editor: Uri Selah. Tel-Aviv: "Dfus Chadash" press, [1956].
The booklet was presumably printed during late December 1956, approx. two months after the massacre in Kafr Qassem. It opens with a review of the events and eyewitness testimonies, followed by a series of articles by Dan Ben Amotz, Amos Keinan, Avaham Shlonsky, Gershom Shoken and others, condemning the massacre. The last page features a petition calling for a public trial, with a a blank space for signing and instructions for the reader: sign it […] cut the page, fold it and send it by mail to the address: Speaker of the Knesset, Jerusalem".
During the Kafr Qassem Massacre, 49 residents of the village, including women and children, were shot to death by the Israel border police after violating a curfew imposed on the village, of which they were unaware, while working outside the village. Initially, the authorities tried to hide the events from the public and the military censor imposed a gag order on the written and broadcasted media. This booklet was printed illegally under the gag order and was distributed secretely. Its first copies were printed at the expense of the Mapam party (the paper was donated by Uri Avneri and Shalom Cohen, the owners of the weekly "HaOlam HaZeh") and were distributed by members of "HaShomer HaTza'ir" movement. During distribution, some members of "HaShomer HaTza'ir" ran into members of the Security Services, who confiscated the booklets and burnt them. Shortly thereafter, an additional edition of the booklet was printed, funded by the Maki party.

A postcard that was, presumably, printed in the Jordanian part of divided Jerusalem on the occasion of the establishment of The Arab Federation. Jerusalem, [ca. 1958]. Arabic.
The postcard depicts King Faisal I of Iraq riding a giant horse above a map of the Middle East. The horse's hind legs are placed between the Euphrates and the Tigris and its front legs are raised in the air above Jordan and Israel – hinting at the political ambitions of the Federation.
A caption on verso reads "The symbol of Arab unity" (Arabic).
The Arab Federation was the name of a Jordanian-Iraqi federation which existed for five months in 1958. The agreement between Jordan and Iraq was reached by King Hussein of Jordan and King Faisal II of Iraq, cousins of the Hashemite royal family, whose ambition was to spread the influence of the dynasty throughout the Middle East. The union dissolved following the outbreak of the military revolution in Iraq.
Approx. 9X14 cm. Good condition. Stains and minor blemishes. Writing on verso (Hebrew).
