No Jews Allowed

That's the latest word from Saudi Arabia, which has issued new travel guidelines for tourists. New York Congressman Anthony Weiner said yesterday that the Saudi rules prohibit "Jewish People," anyone with an Israeli passport, and anyone whose passport bears an Israeli stamp from being granted a visa.

Substitute any other ethnic or religious group for "Jewish People" and imagine the international outrage that would ensue. But that's just fine with the career bureaucrats at State.

Update: Opinion Journal's Best of the Web Today is reporting that the Saudis have rescinded their policy of denying Jews visas to visit the Kingdom. Prohibitions against Israelis or anyone with an Israeli stamp on his passport, however, remain in effect.
