The Prohibition to Save the Drowning Idol Worshiper

<< < (3/3)

Israel Chai:
So today, it's permissible to save the drowning idol worshiped for the life risk to all of us, but does the prohibition of saving the Jew who isn't shomer shabbos apply?

 YES to second question. You don't know if the Jew did repentance (at the last minute or soo for example) or if he is Shomer Shabbat or not because of the appearance from the outside as well. For example I know some people who don't wear a Kippa or other things but are Shomer Shabbat as well.
 Perhaps its a different question on someone who is known to be anti-religious and such, for example someone in the Knesset or some judge on the Israeli supreme court or media personality that is anti-religious (not just not religious but specifically anti. ).

 Also the first part not sure it applies soo much to non-Jews in Eress Yisrael. For example if one works with the ambulances and such and one knows that its an Arab terrorist and such who is injured and needs immediate care or he dies, one should do everything they can in order to make sure he dies and not take care of him. Not only because of the issue of idolatry but also the issue of being at war with them and at a time of war we are supposed to kill them and not save their lives like Jews are expected (and forced) to do in Israel today.

Do I have to save a gay fish from drowning ?
