Professor Hiram Weiss is an art historian. He has full tenure at Bethel University in Nazareth. Sure Bethel University is a ficticious university, but I thought it preferable to go that route instead of using a real university. When he lost his wife and son to the region's conflict, he was quick to accept an offer from Mossad. They needed an expert on vases to monitor the pottery shop where the professor's son lost his life to terrorists who were hiding in there.
Weiss is a good man, a dedicated Israeli, and he believes wholeheartedly in the Jewish faith. But he is obsessed with hatred. Hatred for terrorists and anything that has to do with Arabs. That would include Muhsin and his Pottery Shop. You see, not only is the pottery shop run by a Palestinian, but the clay delivery men are the terrorists. At first they are Hamas, but when the Hamas leader negotiates a peace treaty with Israel, the terrorists disavow their leader and go rogue. So, in this story, anyway, the terrorists are a splintered group, no longer a part of Hamas or any other faction in the region.
And Weiss is not going to let any peace agreement interfere with his revenge. In fact, nothing will stop him from attaining it. Not even a special vase, of which he is the only one to figure out why it's so special. But does it cost him his life? Or does it save him?
