Travel to the US with a stamp from Israel in my passport
If you are curious and want to see a helpful comment I added (a little late): to comment and answer on this page
I am going to travel to Israel at the end of the year for one week.
Somewhere I read, that I could get problems with a stamp from Israel in my passport when traveling to the US again.
Also I read, that I could get the stamp on a separate paper (Though I would need two pieces because one is going to get taken away as I enter Israel at the airport).
I'm from Germany and visited the US for the first time this year and wanted to visit the US in maybe two or three years again.
Does anyone know if I'm going to face any problems at the border with a stamp from Israel?
Best Answer
Israel never stamps passports at Ben Gurion (TLV) Airport. They always hand you a separate ticket to keep with your passport. As per the other answers, the USA is about the last place to worry about for this subject, but, in fact, there's no stamp to worry about at all.

Answer 2
More than a quarter of Israeli exports go to the United States and 13% of imports come from there. Not only does a free trade agreement exist between the USA and Israel but it was the first such agreement the USA entered into. Many large USA companies operate significant research centers there including Intel, Microsoft, Apple. Notably the Haifa research center have pulled out Intel of the Pentium 4 dead end. Whatever you think of president elect Donald Trump, it's notable he is an investor there and so is Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. The close and multifaceted economical ties would be impossible if there would be any such problems.
Oh and the military of the two country are also cooperating on many levels, see Israel–United States military relations.
Answer 3
Despite all the other answers and comments found here, I must interject that my friend is taken into the border office for questioning every time I drive with him into the United States, because he has Israeli stamps in his passport. He is Canadian; his wife is Israeli (living in Canada) and they travel to Israel on occasion.
I do not know why they do this. He has never been actually barred from entry.
