With his remarkable West Bank concert, famed pianist Daniel Barenboim has crossed a divide impossible to traverse thus far by efforts toward a peace process (“World-Class Pianist Forges a Link for Peace in Mideast,” Sept. 11). If an audience of Palestinians can come together and share common ground with Israeli Barenboim, might not the heads of state, politicians and diplomats do so as well? Share common ground, that is. Because, literally, isn’t that what this conflict is all about? Kudos to Mr. Barenboim.
