A group of Israeli soldiers have launched an initiative to highlight a different side of the army they serve, inviting visitors to a new website, Friend-a-Soldier, to engage in dialogue with them.
“There is a monolithic perception of the Israeli army,” said Daniel Nisman, a 24-year-old Cleveland native and CEO of the website. “Many people see soldiers as nothing more than a uniform. I wanted people to see the human side of the IDF.”
