The closest I am to getting into trouble is a stamp from Malaysia this January. That's the far east though so I hope it won't be a problem...

There is a mention in passing in that section about poor relations between Israel and Malaysia - apparently Malaysia won't let Israeli planes fly in its airspace. I wouldn't be surprised if you are asked what you were doing in Malaysia, but as long as was just a holiday or similar, I doubt they'll stop you entering the country.
The main problem may actually lie with the fact that I'll fly from Hong Kong with two other guys holding a Hong Kong passport and a Portuguese passport respectively...
According to the China section of the above article, relations between Israel and China are quite good. The Portugal section is empty, but I can't see holding an EU passport being a problem. A group of young men travelling together will probably cause them to take a closer look at you, but it wouldn't count against you in itself.
