They’re Jews, so they’re not indifferent to suffering even of non-Jews. You’re right that the good deeds of the Israelis will be met only by hostility and scorn by the Arabs and their toadies in the West. It will be like that woman from Gaza who was burned in a kitchen accident, rushed to a hospital in Beersheba, and given excellent care. Two weeks after she was released cured, she came back to the same emergency room that had treated her with a bomb strapped on, ready to become jihadized.

I often say that the best way to bring about peace would be to cut off the Palestinian Arabs from all the international welfare that has kept them going for six and a half decades. If they have to work for a living, instead of living off the dole paid by the Western countries through the UN (their “Arab Brothers” are notoriously skinflint when it comes to actually delivering money to them), they’d not have time for terrorism. It might not work, but I think it’s worth trying. Damn sight better than John F. Kerry acting like Mr. Bigshot putting the arm on Israel, which will accomplish nothing worthwhile.

All that results is hate, scorn and boycotts from the very people they are helping and their hangers on in the west. There is absolutely no upside to this at all. It’s the EU, UN’s and other Arab states’ problem to deal with or ignore.
