Ever wondered what the Hebrew letters on the Palestinian Stamps mean ?

According to Mr. Nader Abuljebain , the authority on Palestinian Stamps , the first 7 Hebrew letters spell out "Falastina", the Hebrew word for Palestine. The final two, Alef Yud, are initials for Eretz Yisrael, which means the Land of( Israel) in Hebrew.
Since Palestine was under the British mandate ,the Arab Palestinian population was dubbed into accepting the 2 letters and an abbreviation, not knowing that they represent the Zionist colonial ambitions.
Mr. Abuljebain wrote a reference book about Palestinian History in Postage Stamps which was published by the Institute of Palestine Studies and the Welfare Association
