Putting "Israel to Everywhere" into Skyscanner.net and some random July dates yields a bunch of cheap fares.

Cyprus and Hungary top the list.

Anybody know if there's a way to just set "destination"? Not origination? I think that would be too complicated for a search engine though

I haven't tried it, but wouldn't ITA handle this? Just make your origin that long list of airports...

The fast and imperfect way is to search first on <destination> to Anywhere. Get your short list, and look at the reverse. As everyone will point out reverse markets aren't guaranteed to be the same, but in a lot of cases they are and you'd at least get yourself a short list to work from.

No, it can't. Because when you give ITA too many options it times out, and actually doesn't give you the best price. I'm not sure when it times out, as it doesn't tell you.

I'd also love if ITA can punch in a random return to see if a RT is cheaper (but they might get in trouble).
