Apples and Oranges. Jews don't blow up planes, some Saudis do....(and the they do pray first) Unless you've been to Saudi Arabia, you would have no idea how much they despise us (Americans) and HATE (Jews). Regardless. Saudi Arabia is part of the Arab boycott which is illegal in the U.S. and that will cause a problem w any alliance (example: the alliance map showing all destinations Sky Team flys to cannot show Israel (TLV) on it). So a whole new Sky Team map must be used in Saudi Arabia
And FYI. I've seen Saudis pulled off Emirates, Etihad and Malaysia Airlines before for "looking sketchy". It's not discrimination. It's common sense (and no, the argument about Punishing many for the acts of a few does not wash). It may be a "few" that are dangerous but the "many" support them"
