DO WE DESERVE REDEMPTION? “Blood, Covenant, and Return”- Parshat VaEra

Are we today so much greater than say the Rambam's generation? Why is G-d returning us to Israel & doing so many salvations and victories over Hamas, Hizballah, Syria and Iran in recent years, even if we haven't done Teshuva & seemingly don't deserve it?
