And it’s good news.

Loay Alshareef has been on quite a journey. Growing up in Saudi Arabia and brought up a religious Moslem, he was exposed to antisemitic schooling about Israel and the Jews.

Loay was part of a generation of young Saudis who stood no chance. Isolated from the world, taught to hate. It still goes on ...
