There was also a large population of Mizrahi Jews in Saudi Arabia historically. The Jews that were brutalized by Muhammad and his followers were Mizrahis.

Medina was a Jewish town originally and so was the town of Khaybar. In the former's case, the residents were accused of plotting against Muhammad and all of the men were executed, the children and women were sold as slaves. In the latter case, Khaybar, it was attacked by Muhammad and his followers and all of it's wealth stolen.

The residents of Khaybar were forced to pay a yearly tax until Muhammad's successor Umar forced them to move to Syria. There are ruins of this place that still stand today, and the photos I have seen show that the Mizrahi were exquisite architects and craftspeople.

Plenty of other communities ended this way in the Arabian peninsula after the birth of Islam.
