At some point hopefully there are more medics to treat everyone so no anti-victim triage is necessary.<br /><br />But yes it's ridiculous that there should be such a policy for "political correctness" - we are certainly killing ourselves that way.Miriamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-56018965221393750472015-12-17T00:16:08.092+02:002015-12-17T00:16:08.092+02:00As I once emailed you, Rafi, in light of the new p...As I once emailed you, Rafi, in light of the new policy, Rav Yitzchak Brand Shlit"a paskens to kill a subdued terrorist. This is because if they are going to treat the terrorist before the Jewish victim, the added wait time will end up threatening the life of the Jewish victim.
