You can certainly send a postcard from Israel to the United States.
But since there is no place called Palestine (except in Texas), you cannot send any mail from a place that does not exist.
The Romans had changed the name of the Land of Israel to "Palestine." But from AD 640 until the 1960s, Arabs referred to this same Land as "Southern Syria." Arabs only started calling the Land "Palestine" in the 1960s. Until about the eighteenth century, the Christian world called this same Land, "The Holy Land."
Thereafter, they used two names: "The Holy Land" and "Palestine." When the League of Nations in 1922 gave Great Britain the mandate to prepare Palestine as a national home for the Jewish people, the official name of the Land became "Palestine" and remained so until the rebirth of the Israeli State in 1948.
