Greece is giving the finger to the EU in the same way Argentina gave the finger to the IMF: it wasn't the people that "chose" to bail out the banks, it was the government at the time. Why should every Greek person today be held accountable for what a very small subset of them did back then?

I really dislike people saying "the Greek are doing this or that". Taken to an extreme, that is that kind of generalization and simplification that leads to xenophobia.
