.....at the end of a rally in support of the Oslo Accords .
Rabin, despite his extensive service in the Israeli military, was disparaged personally by right-wing conservatives and Likud leaders who perceived the Oslo peace process as an attempt to forfeit the occupied territories.
National religious conservatives and Likud party leaders believed that withdrawing from any "Jewish" land was heresy. Rallies, organized partially by Likud, became increasingly extreme in tone. Likud leader (and future Prime Minister) Benjamin Netanyahu accused Rabin's government of being "removed from Jewish tradition ... and Jewish values." Netanyahu addressed protesters of the Oslo movement at rallies where posters portrayed Rabin in a Nazi SS uniform or being the target in the cross-hairs of a sniper.[2] Rabin accused Netanyahu of provoking violence, a charge which Netanyahu strenuously denied.[3]

" Oslo was still theoretically alive in the late 90s, I remember the tourism commercials: "Come to Israel" with everybody happy happy happy. That all stopped when the intifada started. "
Oslo died with Rabin .........its why he died .
Yeah ....................we were all " happy happy happy."
You are talking about the Second Intifada :
It started in September 2000, when Ariel Sharon made a visit to the Temple Mount
