But it does not appear to be the case that these attacks are guided or meant to advance anyone's political aims. They appear to be terrible spontaneous acts resulting from the pressures under which these people live.

I think that they would. This is not any form of acceptable protest. This is assault. If you stab a heavily armed person, you should have a reasonable expectation of being injured or killed. These stabbings seem to be done to provoke the Israeli response. These attacks are another cynical attempt by older, more physically secure Palestinians to use young people to further their own political aims.
