I've read that there is a statement on Iranian passports to the effect that it is not valid for travel to Israel. So in theory, if you return with an Israeli stamp on your passport, you have provided evidence of your breach of the law and the Iranian authorities can give you a hard time. But they are making an exception for the Jews. Here is a couple of quotes for you:

"Whatever they say abroad is lies - we are comfortable in Iran - if you're not political and don't bother them then they won't bother you," says Hersel Gabriel

His customer, middle-aged housewife Giti agrees, saying she can easily talk to her two sons in Tel Aviv on the telephone and visit them.

"It's not a problem coming and going; I went to Israel once through Turkey and once through Cyprus and it was not problem at all," she says.

So in reference to one of your comments, no, the Iranian Jews feel nothing like the Palestinians in Israel.
