It would be tough for Diane Corner to find a “Palestinian” Muslim cleric who hadn’t made viciously antisemitic statements. After all, the bit about Jews being transformed into apes and pigs is straight from the Qur’an (2:63-5; 5:59-60; 7:166). The mistake was treating these genocide-minded jihadis as if they were a respectable group in the first place.

“Britain’s top diplomat in Jerusalem met cleric who had compared Jews to ‘apes and pigs,'” by David Rose, The JC, March 17, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Britain’s top diplomat in Jerusalem, the UK Consul-General Diane Corner, held a formal meeting last week with a senior Palestinian cleric who has claimed on television that Jews are âcursed by Allahâ and comparable to âapes and pigsâ.
Mahmoud al-Habbash, the Palestinian Authorityâs foremost Shariah judge and the spiritual adviser to PA president Mahmoud Abbas, gave a sermon last September in which he also said Muslims should not allow the al-Aqsa mosque to be âabandoned as prey to the grazing herd of humanoids, of people or creatures that Allah created in the form of humans.â
The cleric has also previously said that there was a âsupreme dutyâ to ensure that the Temple Mount in Jerusalem was âreturned, liberated, defended and purified from the defilement of the occupation and theftâ.
It follows the revelation that Cornerâs deputy, Anne McEwen, led a UK team of Foreign Office colleagues in the Palestine Marathon, an event held in protest against Israelâs âapartheid wallâ. The diplomats were pictured at the event in T-shirts showing a map which campaigners claimed âerases Israelâ, prompting fury among MPs.
Parliamentary chair of Conservative Friends of Israel Stephen Crabb attacked the diplomatsâ involvement as âincredibly ill-judgedâ, and Labour Friends of Israel chair Steve McCabe MP has requested an explanation from Foreign Secretary James Cleverly.
A tweet issued by the official UK mission to the Palestinians states that Corner had met al-Habbash âto discuss what more could be done to protect and progress Palestinian womenâs rights in lawâ.
The post included a photograph of the pair standing in front of a furled Palestinian flag, and ended with the hashtag â#8MarchWomensDayâ.
The tweet revealing that Corner met Habbash on March 8 was first noticed by the Jerusalem NGO Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), the same organisation that initially drew attention to Team UKâs participation in the marathon race….

Disgusting–but considering the UN’s appalling antisemitic history, no surprise.

I thought you had to be smart to be appointed to Counsel General or positions like hers. Evidently NOT, she thinks women have rights under Islam, where has she been for the past 50yrs.

But these are the people who lecture rest of the world about morals! They have no shame!
