CHANGE: Saudi embassy on Delta rumors: American Jews are always welcome! Well, sorta-kinda. But note this, which I think is right: “The irony is, the Saudi royals have been unusually proactive among Middle Eastern regimes in pushing reforms to try to head off any Arab-Spring-type revolt among their population. They might be susceptible to western pressure for social liberalization too, especially since they need western allies to fend off the threat from Iran. Leaning on U.S. businesses and the U.S. government to lean on them about discrimination is all to the good, and it might have some small impact. . . . Seize the opportunity.”
