The eradication of millions of civilians is definitely anti-peace.
A similar situation would be the US joining WW2 on the Axis side. I mean once Britain, France, Russia, China, and the Jews were finished off, there'd be peace for a while right?
Ponder what unconditional support for Israel would mean for Palestinians in our current landscape.
Few years ago Texas required 'In God we Trust' signs to be displayed in classrooms. Schools weren't allowed to pay for them, so basically donated. They conveniently rejected the signs that had a rainbow on it, or the one written in Arabic.

Downvotes for answering D: I'm not opposed to closing the account. But the museums alone could be costing boa 10-30/month, assuming each admission is paid out close to face value. Surely this helps the community more than a CU, and costs boa more than they could possibly make off me (since I pay no interest, and hold no checking/savings there).
CMV?
I will consider this. Is Amex a better organization than BoA? They both kinda seem like banking behemoths to me. Cust supp is nice, but it's not something I use often.
I agree, I even have a savings account at a local CU. Tbh their dividends on that account have been disappointing. I may look into CDs through the same institution.
Considering I only have a CC through BoA, and I've explained how I believe I'm a net negative for them, how am I contributing to their investments? Perhaps they're selling my data? Or perhaps I'm boosting their numbers by simply having an account? Honest question.
Honest answer? I have one of their CC that gives 3% on all online shopping/purchasing. Plus BoA has a program for all card members to get free entrance on the first weekend of each month to select museums.
Between both of those and paying it off each month, I like to think that I'm actually costing BoA a little bit of money (and getting some money from bank-hands into museum-hands)
I'm in a HCOL area, and all the TBs near me have them for 1.79. Although they were a dollar a month or two ago. They're sizable, and 3 will absolutely fill me up, 2 is usually plenty.
TB usually has a pretty good combo box for less than $10, sometimes closer to $5/6. If you're real picky and want certain things, then sure, get ready to pay $15+. But I personally find that I can't spend more than $8 to get stuffed.
Isn't his vest bulletproof? I hope we don't find out
Don't be a lazybones
What if a kid had an incurable spreadable disease? Throw them in the hot summer car?
Lots to unpack, let's hit the big ones. Do any means justify peace? Is mass murder of entire countries okay because it would result in less overall friction afterward? How long does peace need to last after for it to make it worth it?
Displacement. Is it fair to the people who have lived in a country for generations to leave because of other's actions? Moreso, many of them currently /want/ to leave (really really bad) but can't, what should they do? And also, how is that fair to neighboring countries, they're just required to take in refugees because Israel wants more land? (What if there weren't neighboring countries?)
Finally, (please educate me), are universities very invested in Syrian companies/industries? That's what the current protests are about, divestment from Israel. Are you required to care about all atrocities in order to care for one? What line marks which bad things in the world protesters should inclusively be knowledgeable about?
