What a wonderful story!

Daniel Barenboim, the conductor, who also is an Israeli, has accepted a Palestinian passport.

His comment in this article in the UK Independent says it all:

"I have also accepted it because I believe that the destinies of ... the Israeli people and the Palestinian people are inextricably linked," Barenboim said. "We are blessed - or cursed - to live with each other. And I prefer the first."
