The Israel stamp story is a myth.  https://andreasmoser.blog/2012/08/23/israeli-passport-stamp/[/quote]

Did you actually read the post? It says that some Arab countries will not allow you in if you have an Israeli stamp in your passport.

This has been true for many years. I lived in Iran back in the 70s and even then, which was a relatively modern time compared to now, you couldn't have an Israeli stamp. Oddly, you could be Jewish, and there was a reasonably large Iranian Jewish population.[/quote]

Israel does NOT stamp your passports.  Hasn't for a while now.  So no need to worry about going there and then to an Arab country.

Huh. When did they make the change, I wonder? My sister went to Israel on a Birthright trip in the early aughts. A couple years later she joined the Peace Corps and was sent to Morocco, and she had to get a new passport so the Israeli stamps wouldn't be there. She was also cautioned not to let anyone know she was Jewish.  [/quote]

I traveled to Israel in 2013, and although I got selected for extra questioning at the airport upon arrival thanks so my very Muslim name, they did not stamp my passport.  They gave a slip of paper with a stamp, which I kept in my passport until I left the country and they took that piece of paper back.

To OP, I wouldn't worry too much about it.  I doubt these children will look at your daughter differently because she's Jewish.  Despite what you've heard about what other people say in other countries.  If anything, it'll show those kids that they have Jewish friends and Jewish people are nice just like everyone else.
