I don't understand the controversy about her just because she is Israeli. Many "arab" nations are not on the friendliest of terms but no one would raise an eyebrow if a syrian dancer became big (since there is a huge conflict between syria and lebanon). dance, and art in general is what raises us all above the stench of politics and war.
Orit's festival in Israel has done a lot for the peace between arabs and jews in the region. Palestinian dances were taught by a famous Palestinian dance troupe, Sabah, an amazing Israeli Arab drummer taught classes and performs for Orit.
