From personal experience, you won't have a problem with an Israeli stamp in your passport. I once flew with a guy that had heard having the stamp would get you kicked out of Arab countries (his lifelong goal).
On a trip into Israel, he demanded a stamp on his passport. About 15 minutes later, he finally wore the Immigration guy down far enough to do it. One week later, we were in Jeddah. He approached the Immigration official with his passport open to the stamped page, and literally shoved the guys nose in it. The guy ignored the stamp, flipped to the pic page page, and waved us through. This really pissed off the Captain, who demanded to know why he wasn't being ejected from lovely Saudi Arabia ( still his goal). The Immigration guy just laughed and said "next."
