#1 Bibi gambled, and won.

#2 Yep, the Paleos tried to play their little trick one time too many. What is interesting, so far, is why the Paleos haven't tried on another Intefadah yet. I suspect that the previous one was such an utter flop, that the typical Paleo on the street has a FTS attitude towards a new one.

From the Israeli point of view, what Bibi is doing right now is working like a charm. But he has to remember that the clock is ticking, so he needs to push hard, but not too hard, to get as much done as possible before "things change", again.

The best bet is to take over as much of East Jerusalem as possible. Every Jew who moves into there means that much less possibility of it remaining as a bargaining chip. Once it is wholly owned, game over.
