Is there really anti semitism in Saudi Arabia?🇸🇦🤔

I want to write an [b]honest[/b] answer about anti semitism in Saudi Arabia.
(From my own experience)

In general , the Saudi [b]people[/b] are kind , hospitable , and warm people . you as an immigrant or a tourist from any religious background would most likely have a very pleasant, safe and welcoming experience.

However , like every country , racist people unfortunately do exist.
There are different types of racism in Saudi Arabia:
1/ Saudi vs immigrant (this is common due to 40% of the population consisting of immigrants and citizens feeling threatened especially job-wise )
2/ black vs fair skin (not very common and not as dramatic as it is in USA Uk etc )
3/ non Bedouin vs Bedouin
4/ tribal racism.

[b]Now going back to the original question, are Saudis anti semitic ?[/b]

Law wise :
No, Jews can visit and work in Saudi. it is Israeli passport holders regardless of their religion and ethnicity that cannot enter the country .
Culturally and religiously:
No , Saudis should not be anti Semitic .
Politically :
Yes they are due to the Palestine vs Israel conflict.
However , [b]Some[/b] Saudis tend to shift their hate from being towards the Israeli government and onto the Jewish people as a whole and even those who are not from Israel which is the issue of concern.

For example, there is this song we used to sing growing up and a part of it goes like this :
“Falasteen bladna bladna
Wal yahood klabna klabna”

Which means something like : “Palestine is our land our land and the Jews are our dogs our dogs “
(This song is famous in other Arab countries too )

This song is very dangerous to teach children!
Because Judaism is a religion and an ethnic group.
Thankfully, my own family is educated and used to scold me whenever I’d sing it .
But a lot of my friends were not as fortunate and faced no consequences whenever they sang it .

(The vice versa exists , there are anti- Arabs among Jews specifically Israel citizens )


That’s it thanks for reading 🌸
