So the steps are

1) Me
2) Amir
3) Hamas

That seems pretty simple. Much simpler than Pampered Chef to Planned Parenthood.

Maybe you meant something like,

1) Me
2) Achmed
3) Achmed's Mosque
4) Mullah Amir
5) Center for Muslim Relations
6) Hamas

That would be more in line, and I would not have a problem buying canned peached from Achmed. He is only responsible for giving to his Mosque, and I am only responsible for giving to Achmed. If Achmed was sending money directly to Hamas, like Amir is in your example, then sure I have a responsibility in that step.

I see your point and it seems the difference between our opinions is how distantly or closely related the intermediate steps are perceived to be. And based on mine, I still won't be buying PC anymore. :) Have a good afternoon and thanks for the discussion.
