Such a tricky issue, and one that I've thought about because so many great dancers teach and perform at Eilat, and because I have an MA in Middle Eastern studies and an interest in the region's politics and history. I have the impression that Orit Maftsir, the festival organizer, is for peace, though it's not clear to what extent she approves or disapproves of the Israeli government's actions. In general, as an Israeli who clearly supports Arab culture, I think she should be supported and congratulated for her work to build cultural bridges between two opposing sides.
