This is true. But three things:

1) Carter, Clinton and Obama all held summits for peace, and all 3 had as a central ask "please stop building settlements in the west bank." Israel's response was no, no and no.

2) End of USSR meant ~1m jews from former USSR > to Israel who were much more anti-left.

3) When Rabin was close to peace in the 1990s, Netanyahu led rallies basically calling for his death. Rabin was then assassinated by a right winger and Netanyahu was elected the next year and went out of his way to sabotage the effort. He's led the country away from peace and 2-state solution.

Oh yeah! The ugly truth is Rabin's assassination is, sadly, one of the most successful political assassinations.
