The Mayor of Whitechapel has proposed that the current conflict between Israel and the terror group, Hamas, could be settled with a Great British Bake-Off-style contest to be held in a big tent on The Golan Heights.
His Worship Tobias Dell, CBE, told newsmen: ‘This current conflict looks like it could be a pretty drawn-out and bloody affair unless a long-term solution can be found.
‘I propose a bake-off in Golan with the side baking the best cakes being given the deeds to Palestine.
‘Paul Hollywood and Pru Leith could be the main judges with a couple of neutrals from China or one of the smaller countries like Britain as secondary adjudicators.
‘Of course, the bakers from both sides would be forbidden from shouting slogans at each other while waiting for their cakes to rise in the oven and from packing their buns or loaves with plastic explosives that could be used as weapons after the ‘stop baking’ directive is given at the end.’
A spokesman for the Israeli government said last night: ‘Sounds like a great plan. We pride ourselves on our cakes and buns here in Tel Aviv so we’re quietly confident.
‘Also, due to our illegal, essential services blockade on Palestine, the Hamas boys will be pretty short of yeast and even flour, so we’ve already got a headstart on the barbarian scum’
A Hamas spokesperson responded earlier today: ‘This is a great idea. Our boys are already dab hands at knocking up fancy cakes in the tunnels under the Gaza strip for when the lads have birthdays and at Christmas, so we’re quietly confident of kicking Zionist ass and claiming back the occupied territory, inshallah’
This proposal could mirror the peace deal struck between Britain and the IRA in 1990, when the Republicans agreed to stop bombing the British mainland after losing an ad hoc version of Bruce Forsythe’s, The Generation Game, staged in Dar Es Salaam.
