Casus Belli
(New York Sun) Editorial - The Associated Press story that brought us the news of the death of Daniel Wultz, the 16-year-old Florida high school student mortally wounded in a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv, reported, "According to the American Embassy, more than 200 American citizens have been killed or wounded in terrorist attacks in Israel since 1992." American courts have found Iran and its leaders liable for $6 billion in damages for more than a dozen Americans killed or wounded in Iranian-sponsored attacks. The State Department's Web site, rewardsforjustice.net, lists dozens of Americans killed or wounded in terrorist attacks in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. The Boston Globe's Jeff Jacoby listed at least 51 Americans murdered by Palestinian Arab terrorists in a recent ten-year period. An attack of this magnitude on American soil would be a casus belli and trigger an American retaliation. As the death toll mounts, there's too much patience, and not enough justice.
