Israel Air Force aircraft have been spotted in recent days at a Saudi Arabian military base unloading military equipment in the city of Tabuk, in northwestern Saudi Arabia, according to a report from Iranian news agency FARS.

The base will reportedly be used as a forward operating base by the Israelis as part of an offensive on an Islamic country.

Did you kiss a woman in public? Did you wear the Star of David in the open?

I bet Putin even has some interrogation centers set up if at any point the Israelis manage to take hostages.

Is the Jerusalem Post the NYTs of Israel, telegraphing military operations for the protection of terrorists, or terrorist nations?

I share your dismay at this revelation. If it’s true, I hope the Israeli government cuts off power to the building, and once the building is empty, levels it to the ground.

I did not kiss a woman in public.

I certainly wore open indications of religion (e.g., a kippah), tallit, what not.

I think because Judaism does not seek converts it is strangely more tolerated.

Overthrowing the House of Saud has been a goal of the Jihadists for years.

Interesting map. In the pink country (Uzbekistan) just north of the border with Turkmenistan, there is a town called “Nukus”.

It was on a military base.

I was working for an american sub of an Israeli company -— you know, since Israeli goods aren’t allowed in Saudi.

Same things, difference stickers.

Thanks jhpigott for the ping, as you noted, an Iranian "news" source. Gotta be Iranian-source disinfo, same campaign as the "Saudis give IAF green light" stories that have been poppin' like mushrooms all this year.

“I think because Judaism does not seek converts it is strangely more tolerated.”

That’s interesting. Here in the US, the spin is that muslims hate Jews more. That’s not your take?

Depends on the iman. Upper class Saudis don’t care.

Ever play a losing hand of poker and scare everyone into folding? This is similar, only the stakes are higher.

Ha! No. But you said, "I’ve been in Saudi before with zero problems -— on a US Passport, but openly Jewish." The inferrence was they were "tolerant" of your presence.

But after your posting on what happened with your daughter at her school and your comments on that thread, a reasonable reader could conclude you are a pretty imposing presence.

So, I was just ascertaining if there was indeed some sort of tolerance in the scenario when you passed through Saudi Arabia, or if they were thinking, "I better not say a single disrespectful thing to that big, burly Jew, or he'll break my skinny Arab butt in two."

That's where I was coming from with the question.  !
