In the past, sometimes Israeli entry authorities would agree to stamp a passport of a citizen of a visa-free country on a separate page (technically, on a page that does not belong to the passport) to avoid them having Israeli stamps. I am not sure about the citizens of the countries which do require visa - I think visa is always on a passport, but I think it is easier for the organizers to inquire at the Foreign Ministry. It this is indeed the case, the only way I see for a citizen of a country A which does not recognize Israel to travel to Israel is the following. To travel first to a country B which does recognize Israel, get in B Israeli visa (which is anyway impossible to get in A), travel to Israel, lose a passport while back in B, apply to the embassy of A in B and get a new passport or a return certificate. To me personally it sounds too complicated, but cases could be different.
