Issued by the United Arab Republic (Egypt) in 1965, this powerful commemorative stamp marks the Deir Yassin Massacre of 9 April 1948, a pivotal and tragic event in Palestinian history. The design depicts the map of Palestine pierced by a dagger, symbolizing violence and bloodshed, rendered with stark graphic intensity typical of mid-20th-century Arab political philately. Bilingual inscriptions in Arabic and English, along with the explicit date, reinforce its historical narrative role. Highly sought after by collectors of Middle Eastern history, political propaganda stamps, and conflict-themed issues, this stamp represents an important documentary artifact rather than a routine commemorative.
