From the article: “No one should be denied access to a heritage site, especially one intended to highlight unity and progress, simply for existing as a Jew,” said USCIRF Chair Cooper.

“Saudi Arabia is in the midst of encouraging change under its 2030 Vision.

However, especially in a time of raging antisemitism, being asked to remove my kippah made it impossible for us from USCIRF to continue our visit.

We note, with particular regret, that this happened to a representative of a U.S. government agency promoting religious freedom.

USCIRF looks forward to continuing conversations with the Saudi government about how to address the systematic issues that led to this troubling incident.”

“Saudi officials’ request for Chair Cooper to remove his kippah was stunning and painful.

It directly contradicted not only the government’s official narrative of change,

but also genuine signs of greater religious freedom in the Kingdom that we observed firsthand,” said USCIRF Vice Chair Davie."

Washington, DC – The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) ended early an official visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia after authorities required the USCIRF delegation to leave the Diriyah UNESCO World Heritage Site in Riyadh when the USCIRF Chair, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, refused their requests that he remove his religious head covering.

The guy knowingly went into the house of saud, a devoutly Muslim house, wearing religious head gear. Wherever The current gubment falls on this issue is who has the most leverage in the situation something we normally could not 🙈 Will it be The Saudis or Israel? Interesting 🤔

Muslim countries sometimes ban non Muslims from their most holy sites. Even the progressive ones like Morocco have certain mosques and temples that infidels may not enter. The fact this filthy jew was allowed into the building as a jew so long as he removed his Kippah and instead he threw a tantrum and fled the country shows what creatures jews are.
