The sort of people who might not be aware enough about asking for the stamp to go on the paper slip rather than in their passport.
Israeli citizens have a problem entering the UAE because they need a difficult-to-get permit from the UAE Ministry of Internal Security. However, there is no problem for people to visit with Israeli stamps in their passports. If there was one, then it would become much more difficult for a lot of European and N. American businessmen.

Then perhaps QF could codeshare on RJ's AMM-TLV flight and RJ codeshare on QF's future DXB-Australia flights.

I'm a Muslim so I've personally never had real bacon, but I'll trust that it tastes the same coming from an Aussie
