mentalblog.com: IDF snipers, are they ready to shoot jews?

Following the objections by Out of Step Jew to the �lible� against the 'duvdevan' unit in the Ministry of Justice post, The Source in Israel responds:

I realize that from the US it all seems to be surreal. Let me explain few terms. In MDA (Magen David Adom) classification, there is an automatic way to determine the level of severity of the injury. Basically, anything that is not in a vital area, where the injury can be potentially life threatening, would be light or moderate. If the location is lower extremities, it is automatically not vital. Therefore anything less than bullet wounds or suspected loss of the extremity is considered to be "lightly injured." When the prospective diagnosis is "moderate condition" with reference to lower extremities, this automatically means injury caused by shooting, and definitely not a limb broken by a club. If the wound is in the area of head or chest - it is automatically moderate, unless it is superficial. If it is a shooting wound in chest or head - it is automatically severe condition. For example, when I was shot in hand [by an Arab terrorist], my condition was considered "light," since it was only in a palm of the hand. When they performed amputation on my fingers, it was somewhere between "light" and "moderate." When the Shaliach in Gush Katif was wounded, since the injury was in the spine area, this was critical, when this danger passed, even though his legs were still paralyzed temporarily, this was already considered to be "moderate condition."
