Let’s look at the facts (emes means truth, as in the objective truth, not subjective emotions).
There are some IDF soldiers who do protect some Jews.
There are also soldiers in countries around the world that also protect Jews.
It would make sense that the numbers would be higher in Israel, but this is irrelevant.
(In response to some IDF actions, some goyim have “retaliated” against innocent Jews because they believe the Zionists’ lies that Zionism=Judaism when, of course, the opposite is true. Yes, these goyim are wrong to do so, regardless. Obviously. But that doesn’t change the alleged “cause” of their actions, the IDF.)
Either way, the facts are that not all IDF soldiers protect Jews (some may have other missions), and certainly not all IDF soldiers protect all Jews.
You have also significantly diverged from observable truth by stating “…to protect and save the Jewish people from the enemies who wish to destroy us.”
What you mean is “…to protect and save the people living in Israel from the enemies who wish to destroy them/Israel.”
This is a very important distinction because your way propagandizes the Zionist bald-faced lies about Zionists claiming to be the universal protector of Jews.
Particularly for a screen name such as yours, more precision is required, in my humble opinion.
The bottom line is to daven for the safety of our brethren wherever they may be and let Hashem work out how to run His world.
