Arab countries that hate Israel often look at your travel stamps. For example if you enter Israel from either Egypt or Jordan (both of which I have done) there will be an exit stamp from that country. If later you go to a country like Syria, for example, the border people will say "ok you left Jordan on March 22, 2012 , where is an entrance stamp for the next country you entered on March 22, 2012?" If you don't have a credible explanation they will assume you went to Israel.
