[Serious] Religious Studies majors of Reddit what was your reaction today when the Saudi King quoted Jewish Torah verses and lied on TV to the entire world by saying "Killing one is like Killing all mankind" and that it was Islamic belief?

No it isn't. Here is the entire verse.

Quran 5:32

Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.

Quran 5:33 Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,

So, it is not the same. It is litearlly opposite. Muslims said kill and ignore the jewish people anyway and 5:32, the kill one is like killing all" is from the torah, and that the next verse opposes it. The literal next sentence says ignore that and kill them and chop their hands and feet off.

So, you want to continue saying they believe the same thing?
