I was annoyed by this - I wanted the stamp as a souvenir. The first time I went to Israel I got the "stamp on a sticker" thing, but the second time I just asked and they explained the reasoning, I affirmed my intent, and they stamped it.

That passport is since expired (it only had 3 years on it, at time of stamping), and my new passport book will get me wherever I happen to go. The souvenir sits safely in my safe.

Aren't you required to turn in your expired passport to get a new one, or report it as lost.

When renewing, the US returns the original passport with holes punched through it.

Yep, my old passport has a hole punch, and that's part of it's charm.
