I like the concept of Friend-a-Soldier: choose an Israeli soldier from a list and ask him or her your questions.

These soldiers aren’t shying away from the tough questions. Ask ’em about terrorism, the Gaza blockade, checkpoints, the flotilla, the “occupation,” what it’s like to serve, or anything else on your mind. They’ve all finished their mandatory service, are active reservists, and they’re ready to engage the world.
