On my second postcard from Palestine you can see Yasser Arafat square in Ramallah. In the center you can see a new monument which has a man climbing towards the Palestinian flag and symbolizes the Palestinian struggle for nationhood. His intimate relationship with his people is symbolized by the water at
the bottom of the structure. The young lad, who is holding the flag of
Palestine near the top of the lighthouse/tower symbolizes President
Yasser Arafat’s dream of liberation, and is an expression of his famous
statement: "A day will come when one of our boys or girls will raise the
flag of Palestine over the walls of Jerusalem, the minarets of
Jerusalem, and the churches of Jerusalem”.
This stamp is Mosquito (Culicidae), from six stamp set Animal Stories in
the Holy Qura'n 2014, planned to be issued on 26.08.2014, but they are issued in January 2015.
Thank you Bahjat!
