This title seems designed to cause outrage. In their post, it's very clear why they couldn't allow the account to remain active: "The website of the organization says they use contributions to finance and train military personnel."

Individuals should not be funding foreign militaries. It does not matter if the country was unjustly attacked or not.



How so? There is preciously little else you can do to feel like you may make a difference.

Not that I believe donating here would have helped, but…


You don't have to donate directly to the military. You can donate to any relief organizations, independent journalists covering the war, etc. There's a lot on the periphery that need donations as well.


Yep! I'm not against people donating to other organizations that are helping out. In fact I hope that people do help out that way!
