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.

It was awful, but no. Rabin was trailing in polls when he was killed. Peres, his successor, had a huge sympathy lead that faded b/c he waited too long to call the election. Still Barak beat Netanyahu in 1999. The failure of the Camp David Summit in 2000 & the 2nd Intifada were far more important.
