It's worth noticing that the apparently successful popular revolution in Egypt came to pass mostly nonviolently. I suspect that the people realized that there was no way they could win by fighting the army and police. By staying nonviolent, they made it more difficult for the authorities to attack them.
Maybe the Palestinians will notice. If they do, the Israelis may be in for it. If the Palestinians seek redress from the Israelis without using violent means, the Israelis will be hard-pressed to justify using violence against them.
