But the time following the Oslo accords represents the closest the Palestinians have had to any normalcy in their every day lives.

Yeah. It's actually surprising Rabin out of all people was the paragon of peace in Israel, but I'm not denying it; I just wanted to say that Israel has always elected people like Netanyahu, even before the 90s. I'm not very informed on Israeli political history, but the Nakba happened in 1949 and has continued ever since. It's possible that it became worse after the 90s because it's hard to reach Netanyahu's level, but Israel's political climate has always favored "Let's build Lebensraum on Palestinian land" candidates.
