Then use that one to enter Israel, and your primary for the other nasties.

GUWonder

Yes, but you should see what they sometimes do at TLV on exit when that is done -- especially if the primary US passport is not/not still in the passenger's possession.

I have personally entered both Egypt and Jordan with Israeli stamps in my American passport, in 2005. Both these countries have regular border crossings with Israel.

On that trip, we flew EWR-TLV, then SDV-ETH with Israel. We crossed by land into Egypt (only as far at Sinai), then took the ferry from Nuweibah to Aqaba, Jordan. After a week in Jordan, we crossed by land into Israel. We were asked some questions each time we crossed, but nothing unusual. The toughest questioning came at TLV when we flew home to EWR - Israeli security wanted to know all about Egypt and Jordan, but again, it was nothing I couldn't answer to their satisfaction in a few minutes.

A side note:

Since that trip, I've been to the UK twice and Canada several times (by car and by plane). It was only in December 2007 that any border guard asked about all these stamps - and it was USCBP at Niagara Falls! He wanted to know why I "do a lot of travel in the Middle East." I explained those were all from one tourist trip, and so forth, and of course I was allowed to come in without further fanfare.

Which is?

GUWonder

.... question further, rummage through and "tear apart" more of that which is in possession.

Depends on the circumstances. I have 3 (!) valid UK passports.

One is marked "second passport" inside - typed. the 3rd and newest passport doesn't have this.

My understanding is that customs in Israel can stamp a separate form or piece of paper which you then hold onto until the end of the trip. Is this no longer the case?

Don't know about customs, but the immigration folk generally will stamp a piece of paper if you ask nicely.

However this is a bit of a waste of time if you don't either fly into Israel (and out again) or cross via the King Hussein Bridge (and back again) as you will have evidence of a border crossing into or out of Israel in your passport.

Note also that if you cross at the King Hussein Bridge into Israel you must return the same way otherwise you will have an entry stamp into Jordan but no exit stamp, which the countries that bar entry to people who've been to Israel will spot immediately

I keep hearing this canard, but I've never heard of anybody actually having problems with Israeli stamps in a passport when entering Malaysia. A former passport of mine had very prominent Israeli stamps right on the first visa page, and I used it to enter Malaysia a dozen times with no problems whatsoever. Indonesia is also no problem at all.

And yes, Israeli citizens find it difficult to enter Malaysia -- but for legitimate business purposes, it's not hard to get the foreign ministry approval for the visa.

How does this exactly work? I know what sign language is. But if you can make signs with your fingers, why can't you use the keyboard to type in English?

Peatisback

I get all of that anyways as someone of Arab/Christian descent. For me the only reason to get a 2nd passport would be to enter other countries that wouldn't allow me to with the dozens of Israeli stamps in my sole passport.

ASL is not English. So somebody whose primary language is ASL may not be very "fluent" in English.

I don't have any Israeli stamps in my passport, but I've been to Malaysia several times and don't recall any scrutiny of stamps in my passport.

Entry and Exit at KUL has always been smooth and fast. I've always used the "diplomatic lanes" (I forget the exact wording of the signs) as those are open to premium passengers on Malaysia Airlines. The FA's provide a "fast track" type voucher before landing in KUL to use those lanes. Upon departure, the ticket agent provides you with one for exit Immigration.

Speaking of Malaysia, the only country that has taken an interest in my Malaysia entry/exit stamps (of all the stamps in my passport) is Japan where I was questioned about my Malaysia entry/exit stamps, what I did in Malaysia, etc.

Other than the Israel issue already identified, you should be fine with all the others. Is this going to be one big (very big) trip, or are you just exploring lots of options?
