You don`t have to quote secular laws. Pikuah nefesh is a basic precept in Judaism.
Up to the time that terrorists began using ambulances to transport explosive material into Israel with the horrifying results that we are all used to, Palestinian ambulances were rushed through checkpoints with all haste.
The lack of respect for this custom led to ambulances being inspected along with the other traffic.
The choice is bleak and harsh but an inescapable result of the situation. Your question about `settlers` is cynical and ridiculous. |
