A Jew in Medina prompts Saudi anger: "Mohammed expelled the Jews, Mohammed Bin Salman brought them back"

Rabbi Jacob Herzog, the self-proclaimed "chief rabbi of Saudi Arabia," posted a photo of himself outside an ancient Muslim graveyard called the "Martyrs of Uhud" cemetery in Medina. He tweeted in Arabic:

I stand to pray for mercy for the soul of Mukhareq Ibn al-Nadir, the Jewish rabbi who stood with the Messenger Muhammad and defended him, fought and was martyred in the Battle of Uhud, and made his money an endowment. #Madinah

Mohammed had famously expelled all Jews from Medina when he defeated the three Jewish groups Bani Qaynuqa’, An-Nadir, and Qurayza. One of the angry comments about Rabbi Herzog's photo was, "The Prophet expelled the Jews from Medina, and Muhammad bin Salman, the crown prince, brought them back."

Another person worried, in response to the tweet, “Is this a justification for your settlement of a land and a region in Saudi Arabia with the excuse that it was the endowment of your Jewish ancestor?"
