I don’t suggest doing that in public, or even telling too many strangers that you are Jewish, although there was video posted on youtube a while back of a Jew walking around a Saudi mall wearing kippah. I didn’t see this in person, so it may just have looked like a kippah from the video. But anyway, it was assumed to be kippah by the man filming him from above & assumed to be kippah from all the Saudis commenting on the video. Exactly half were supportive & half appalled. Comments ranging from “There is nothing wrong with Jews visiting” to “Kill all the Jews in the Gulf!) (But this was not a Gulf Jew, it was a Western Jew.)
I’m really proud of that Jew showing his Jewishness & refusing to act like there is something to be ashamed of.
But if half were supportive, that’s only half of Saudis on youtube who watched this video & bothered to leave a comment. I’m sure half of Saudis in general are not supportive.
It does not matter if not all support this. All that matters who has the power and what is happening. That is the bottom line.
