"Sadly, I no longer collect Israeli stamps" was a painful report to write. It's partly a tale of despair and partly a rant, but definitely something I've been needing to get off my chest.

Here is how the same location appears today: the left box is completely gone, with only a red outline indicating where it once was, and the right box has only some rocks and cement where it used to be. What used to be the post office is now for rent.

Live from Emek Refaim corner of HaMelitz: the left mailbox was formally yellow, has what looks like a small sinkhole at its base, and a message scrawled on it with a permanent marker indicates it has been decommissioned.

@Stamps_Denmark Impressive work!

Seen this afternoon on my visit to Shaare Zedek Hospital in #Jerusalem for #hernia pre-op, this picture of a 1978 Israel Post stamp is part of a historical timeline display that greets visitors upon entering

@sfrantzman Contact me next year, you missed an exciting scouts parade through new gate yesterday. There will be an even bigger one for Orthodox Christmas next month on the 18th I believe, but I'll be out of the country.

Did you know that Austrian Post launched the world's first postcard service on 1 October 1869?

@NPhilatelics @sebphilatelie To get there one has to pass a Russian border checkpoint; they and not Moldova determine who can enter and leave the territory. The Moldovan leu is not accepted anywhere as a valid currency, except money changers. So whatever sovereignty Moldova actually has there, it is minimal.

Greetings from Tiraspol, where earlier today I mailed postcards from the city's main post office. Transnistria is a de-facto Russian territory and uses its own currency, but the stamps they sold me for the postcards were Moldovan.

@philatelyreview #Suceava, not far from that town, is where I'll be spending the next couple nights to see the UNESCO monasteries.
