With all due respect, I question that as the reason for one not being able to enter Israel. What country was your passport issued from? What year do you allege this incident to have happened? I'd love to take it up with Israeli officials to determine if there is any truth to the situation.

Now from a first hand experiance, I was in a military plane which had to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia during in 1970. I was not allowed to get off the plane because a Jew would tarnish Saudi soil. I was in a US Army uniform at the time, and it was my dogtag that kept me on that sweltering plane for hours.

I tried to visit Israel via Tel Aviv. I was refused entry to the country because I had arabic visas on my passport.

You should have tried entering an Arab country with Israeli stamps on your passport..

Or kept a spare passport for visiting Israel, like some of my associates have done..
