The venerable HaZorfim silver chain has won a government tender to supply the
silver platter on which Hamas' victory in the recent war will be placed (Hat Tip:
Danny S).
Proposed designs for the platter varied widely, but the winning
selection will be oval, with ornamental handles and a pattern in
bas-relief that spells out “Death to the Jews” in one direction and “In
blood and fire, we will free you, Palestine.” The size will exceed
twelve meters in diameter along the platter’s longest dimension, and
slightly more than eight meters across at its shortest.
The exact amount of the impending transaction was not disclosed, but
sources close to the Prime Minister’s Office placed it at about 10
million shekels (about $3M). Manufacture of the platter, which will be
handmade, is expected to take approximately two weeks, with delivery to
occur via the Kerem Shalom crossing along with several truckloads of
dual-use cement that can be incorporated into more tunnels into southern
Israeli communities for purposes of kidnapping or massacres.
Yosef Merdiger, a spokesman for HaZorfim and a descendant of its
founder, offered details of the platter’s design. “We have yet to
produce an item of this scale, but the principles of its production are
in line with our other products,” he explained, noting that the company
makes a large variety of silver trays, typically to hold Sabbath
candlesticks. “The platter will be of classic design, of the sort that
HaZorfim preserved from Romania in the 1940′s. That will drive home the
idea that what is happening now is a repeat of what happened to the Jews
of Romania and Eastern Europe at large during that fateful decade.”
He added that the packaging for the platter will also include
instructions on how to melt down the metal for use in various weapons
systems.
