TLV-Asia: fair enough.
TLV-New York: I'd venture that it's totally worth the stop at LHR (which is on the way), if you can get Club World or FIRST.
Also, have you considered heading to CC?
Certainly to the US, you might be able to finagle some DL/CO/NW miles to use on their nonstops. DL is sending a few 77Ls out that way, which will be very ncie in J.
And you could always use *A miles and go AC J, which is also quite respectable (but, as you mentioned, requires the layover).
