You’d have to be insane to work in the Wahhabi Kingdom if you’re Jewish.

Via Times of Israel:

Jews are allowed to work Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Labor Ministry told the Kingdom’s daily Al-Watan newspaper on Tuesday.

Al-Watan reported that the Saudi Labor Ministry’s website now lists Judaism as one of the 10 religions acceptable for foreign workers to practice. Among the 10 options were “Communism” and “no religion.”

The paper further cited an unnamed government source who said work permits were issued based on nationality, and not religion, and there was no official ban issuing work visas to Jews, only Israelis.

“We bar entry [into Saudi Arabia] only to those with Israeli citizenship. Other than that, we are open to most nationalities and religions,” he said, adding that the policy was proof of the Kingdom’s openness to other religions, according to a translation of the report by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

“For example, if a worker is a citizen of Yemen but practices Judaism, the [Saudi] Embassy [in Yemen] would not object to issuing him a work visa for the kingdom,” the source added.

Saudi Arabia, which has some of the most restrictive travel policies in the world, does not grant visas to Israelis or people with Israeli visa stamps in their passport. And although the government has officially said that it does not discriminate against tourists based on religious affiliation, some would-be visitors in the past have reported having trouble in obtaining a visa after identifying as Jewish.
