Another Voice - a short introduction

First of all, allow me to introduce myself:
My name is Omer (in Hebrew this means a sheaf, bundle of grain). I’m 36, married + 4, living in a small village on the northern part of Israel. I’m into hi-tech, making a living as a SW Engineer leading a SW development team in one of northern Israel’s factories.
Oh yes, did I forget to mention I’m Jewish? J
I came across this site by incident – nothing planned. Simply run a short search in Google looking for news from the Arab world in English.
Why? Curiosity I guess. After 36 years in the Middle East isn’t time you meet the neighbors? So far, judging the news, past experience hasn’t been so pleasant …
Then of course there’s the question of why open a blog here? For surely with all the ongoing in Gaza this is not a good timing.
Answer is simple: to share and learn. To share with you the everyday life of an Israeli citizen, and to learn from you about the Arab world.
I wish us all a fruitful dialog in these sad days. At "the end of the day", I hope it is clear to all of us that people are people - everywhere. Some are smart, some are stupid, some are good and some are evil, but at down at the bottom root, we're all just ordinary humans.
