They murder us and we save their lives
What may be the most amazing thing about this country and the Jewish people is that despite the fact the our neighbors continue to murder us - as we saw last weekend in Itamar - we retain our basic humanity and continue to treat them as individuals worthy of human dignity and having their lives saved. Yes, in Itamar (okay, next door to Itamar, in Neve Tzuf). Just as IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz arrived in Neve Tzuf to offer his condolences, a Palestinian cab raced towards the community’s entrance. In it, soldiers and paramedics discovered a Palestinian woman in her 20s in advanced stages of labor and facing a life-threatening situation: The umbilical cord was wrapped around the young baby girl’s neck, endangering both her and her mother.Read the whole thing.
The quick action of settler paramedics and IDF troops deployed in the area saved the mother’s and baby’s life, prompting great excitement and emotions at the site where residents are still mourning the brutal death of five local family members.
Who is like thy people Israel?

And the woman goes on a suicide mission to Israel to show her gratitute and the baby grows up to be... a suicide bomber.
I know such articles are meant to highlight the contrast between Jews who love life and the muslims (and other Jew-haters) who love death, but I increasing feel that such actions mentioned in this article are really not something to feel proud about.
Who are the intended audience of such articles, us Jews and righteous non-Jews or a world (including the self-deniers amongst us) that has pretty much made up its mind regarding Israel / the Jewish people with its intentions for us coming straight out of Tehillim 83?
Even the arabs say "We expected you to kill us. That's what we would have done. An eye for an eye...", so I ask why do we aid our enemies and hold ourselves to the standards of Angels when Man was created to be superior to the former, capable of taking evil and transforming it into a force for good? (e.g. killing your pursuer before they have a chance to kill you.)

"Who is like thy people Israel?"
The Jewish people, the nation of Israel, follow the Lord. Israel's neighbors follow something else. It shows in the contrast of Israel's civilized behavior and, again, something else in Israel's neighbors.
This Christian friend of Israel is very proud of the settler paramedics and IDF troops' response and life-saving actions. Very proud AND entirely not surprised.
