"At the same time there continues to be violence targeting Jews and an increasing use of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories," Foxman said in a statement. "We can't dismiss that 12 percent of the American people means that there are still over 30 million Americans that hold anti-Semitic views."

Religion, Money, Power = EVIL INSANE WORLD.
The world is going to have to undergo a major event in order for people to wake up and stop being crazy.
What that major event is? Only time can tell...
Ever been to a zoo and seen animals acting weird, doing strange repetitive behaviors? Pacing, digging, scratching compulsively, etc?
Some call this "Zoochosis." It happens because the animals' nervous systems are geared towards a certain environment, which is usually not a steel box with a plastic window and a few plants.
Beavers in captivity will even begin to build "phantom dams," fetching imaginary sticks from nowhere and piling them up to make an invisible dam.
I would submit that HUMANS are experiencing something very similar because we live in an environment that is very different than the one our nervous systems were at home in for tens of thousands of years. For almost all of our time as a species, we were hunter-gatherers, living in small packs of no more than 20 individuals, wandering. Agriculture is less than 10,000 years old. The industrial revolution happened a mere 300 years ago. And today's steel-and-concret, halogen-lit world is about 50 years old.
The world we have created is changing too fast for our nervous systems to keep up with. This world may be more "comfortable" than the old hunter-gatherer world, but that doesn't necessarily mean its healthy for us. We are like a two-year-old who has toddled into the kitchen and discovered a sack of raw sugar. The kid will keep stuffing his face with it, his tongue in paradise even as his belly groans in agony. If he keeps it up long enough, serious illness or even death will result. Our "comfort" is like the kid's tongue. Our deeper psychospiritual state is like the rest of the kid's body.

The list can go on and on.
In all the articles you linked, religion, money and power did not commit any of the evil, people did. Religion, Money and Power are human concepts. Saying that only a few human concepts are responsible for all human evil is pathetic and ignorant and the kind of immature excuse making that many of the offenders you list in the OP will probably rely on to rationalize their own actions.
Religion, Money, Power = EVIL INSANE WORLD.
Maybe, but if this is what you are relying on to change the world then don't bother. I have seen this rationale before and it is a cheap replacement for not getting of your own ass to do something.

We are almost emerging into the year 2010, but if you ask me, we might as well still be in the 1600's where they burn you at the stake for thinking the world is round.
Some examples:

Oh wow, 30 million Americans just hate Jewish people. Obama passes hate bill, anything fishy? Seems to me like the hate bill is there to only protect Jews.

What you said makes absolutely no sense.
Humans don't kill others for no reason.
There's always MONEY, RELIGION, Or POWER behind the intentions which is the ROOT of EVIL.
Well it is not my fault you cannot comprehend the simple fact that Money, religion and the idea of Power are essentially human concepts and come from Humans and from our actions they have come into our everyday reality, we created them by our actions and they did not create us or our actions.

I did not say they did. But killing comes from all kinds of HUMAN REASONING, some of that reasoning includes religion, money and power.
Humans don't kill others for no reason.
Where did money, religion and power come from. Where they here before humans?
