[Posted: 2026-01-14 13-18 UTC±0] 

Horizontal-aligned painting in ink and watercolour, the background is dark reddish purple, and in the middle are three persons in Pikachu costumes, the Pikachu in the center is big and inflatable, and two others on the right and left are in cloth costumes. The Pikachu in the center wears a big "bring them home now" necklace. Behind them is a crowd of protesters, two Israeli flags visible. The person on the left holds a banner in which the flag of Turkey morphs into the flag of Israel, saying "Turkey is here". The person on the right holds a red banner with Turkish flag with the same message. The painting is signed Democracy Square Tel Aviv Jaffa 2025 5785 Michael Vokabre.

A composite scan of the postcard turned 90 degrees to the left. The painting described before is thus on the bottom, and above are the postage stamps, and the address, on top of the latter superimposed is the front of the postcard. The front of the postcard is the printed artwork by Shaul Nameri signed 1990 and Yarkon River, depicting a river with a shack on the shore, and a pink-ish yellow-ish tree to the right. The postal stamps used are from the series "Embroidery in the land of Israel". The stamp on top valued 4ILS is dark brown "Bedouin embroidery" with an example of embroidery in green and orange in tiny cross stitches. The stamp on the bottom valued 9.10ILS is deep blue "Ethiopian embroidery" depicting an animal-like character in multiple colours.
