Philately Fridays: 1970s Israel

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted! Here are four Israeli stamps for you to enjoy. Unfortunately I track down exactly what year these were released, but they seem to be from the mid to late 1970s. Enjoy!

Loving the subtle grooviness of this stamp from Cuba, commemorating their participation in the 5th Pan American Games. The distinctly Cuban color scheme and funky illustration style goes nicely with the clearly Canadian Games logo.
