Among any group of people, there are bad ones.

Israel 'must sack' military rabbi
A human rights group in Israel has called for the military's chief rabbi to be dismissed for alleged incitement against Palestinians.
The group, Yesh Din, said Rabbi Avichai Rontzki distributed a booklet to troops in the Gaza offensive, which advised them they were fighting "murderers".
The booklet, citing an ultra-nationalist rabbi, told soldiers to show no mercy to a "cruel enemy".
The Israeli military has not yet commented on the issue.
Yesh Din, which says it is dedicated to defending human rights in the Occupied Territories, called on Defence Minister Ehud Barak to dismiss the rabbi.
It said the booklet's contents could be "interpreted as a call to act outside the confines of international laws of war".
We must be aware that our unquestioning support of Israel involves support of this evil. We no longer have time to pretend otherwise.
How intertwined are we in good and evil?
There are investigations over the use of phosphorous shells by Israel, a substance that leaves horrible burns and wounds. The USA used such weapons in Iraq, specifically in Falluja. At first, the USA denied it. Later, it was admitted to be true.
There is a certain amount of truth in the adage "Birds of a feather..."
Therefore, it is very important that you choose your friends wisely, and that each of you insist that the other be as righteous as possible.
