Consular Assitance

Okay, so a weird, but quick question. I know if you are a dual citizen and enter one of your countries of citizenship you are not entitled to the consular protections of the other country. But what about if you enter a third country?

Here's my example.

J'ai un Aussie passport and a US passport.

If I enter Israel on my Aussie passport (stamps, etc.), will the US Embassy still provide me Consular Assistance if I need it? Will the Israelis give me access to the US Embassy if anything goes wrong? Or only to the Australian embassy?

Also, by the way, any advice on whether I'm better off entering Israel on my well-used Aussie passport which has lots of stamps from boring places as well as a few fun ones (China, Russia, South America), or on my completely empty (save for US stamps) US passport? The reason I ask is that I plan to travel to Dubai in a few months and want to recieve the least harassment in both places, so would appreciate recommendations on which passport to use where.
