Unduly pessimistic appraisal. Domestic forces within Israel are rallying against Netanyahu, who has done dismally in office. I think the chances of a big political shift in 2016 are good. Also, the Palestinian public's support for the knife attacks is entirely counter productive. If there's one lesson we all now know it's that Palestinians lose - and lose BIG - whenever they turn to violence to press their case.
