From MEMRI:

THE HEAD OF THE SAUDI TOURISM COMMISSION DISMISSED THE U.S. MEDIA CRITICISM REGARDING A NOTICE ON THE COMMISSION’S WEBSITE SAYING JEWS ARE BANNED FROM SAUDI ARABIA. PRINCE SULTAN IBN SALMAN SAID THE ISSUE HAS BEEN ’BLOWN OUT OF ALL PROPORTIONS
 IT IS ALL PART OF A SMEAR CAMPAIGN MEANT TO TARNISH SAUDI ARABIA’S IMAGE.’ (ARAB NEWS, SAUDI ARABIA, 3/21/04)

Bullshit (or, in this case, camel shit). It's not possible to tarnish the Saudis' image; it's black as night already.

#3  Banned is an ugly word. They're not banned, they just won't be allowed in. See? It's simple.

#1  Blown out of all proportions?

Okay then, let's just come out and ask: Are Jews specifically banned from entering Saudi Arabia, and if so, why?

Their "answer" should prove entertaining.
