The banks obviously. If someone here says we "helped" Greece they either don't know better or lie. Plus, the bailouts were all credits. We Germans get money from the markets for 1% (or whatever the rate is at the moment), give it to Greece for 5%, make money as a lender (as long as Greece pays it back and we did make sure that they do, didn't we? First order: You pay back every credit. People are hungry? Irrelevant. First pay back credits) and then we have the audacity to call that a bailout and demand gratitude.
