I can’t believe this old fossil is still running around loose. I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone would get around to blaming the Jews for this.

"I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone would get around to blaming the Jews for this."

In the broad sense it is called linkage, or Israeli Palestinian Linkage, or MidEast Linkage. That there are many, but not all, problems in the Mideast that are linked to the Israeli Palestinian problem, and until that problem is solved, none of the other linked problems can be solved.

This is a common view amongst Foreign Policy Realists, including Carter.

The most controversial statement of linkage in recent times was in 2010 when Petraeus, who was serving as commander in Afghanistan, publicly complained that because Israel would not solve the Palestinian problem, his job in Afghanistan was much harder.
