Good luck catching a layover if you are Jewish or have an Israeli stamp on your passport. Last time I checked the staff of Saudi destined airlines wouldn't even let "undesirables" on an incoming flight...

I've been to Israel before, and I have visited KSA recently, no worries.

Things have changed a lot - there used to be a time when the same people wouldn't be allowed in Dubai, and now we have Israeli porn sites shooting videos of naked models on Dubai balconies.

So just like the US banning folks just passing through "undesirable" parts of the world? ;-)

This is a completely unfair and unfactual assumption you made.

I entered Saudi Arabia just this morning with a star of David necklace on my neck (yes it was under my shirt, but it wasn't hidden or anything). There was not even the slightest sign of discomfort nor disapproval. Just a friendly and helpful border officer who said, "Welcome to Kingdom. Have a wonderful time".

And this notion of separation into "undesirables" in Gulf countries is also just plain false. The UAE just granted visa-free access to Indian nationals.

I would check the information you are relying on if this is the kind of assumptions you are making.

This isn’t exactly a convincing argument for the claim here, which to be fair I also wouldn’t phrase in that way, but it is telling that the citizenship/naturalization laws are deeply separate for foreign workers as opposed to locals in many Gulf countries.
