On the other side of the coin you could simply say:

FACT: Anytime you put gas into your car, regardless of where you live, you are helping to fund terrorism. 65% of the oil in the world is in the middle east. These countries support terrorism either directly or indirectly. Even countries like Dubai and Qatar that say they are our allies often give money to terrorist organizations like Hamas or they do little or nothing to find/remove terrorist from their countries. Of the remaining 35% of the world's oil most of it is located in some shithole of a third world country or in places where there is contestant unrest (not all of it, but most of it). Many of these countries also support terrorism either directly or indirectly.

If 65% of the world's oil comes from the middle east then every time you put 10 gallons into your car 6.5 gallons went to a country that supports terrorism.

My point is that in the modern world, unless you live in a house that runs on solar power, has no phone and you grow all your own food, don't own a car and have no source of income, you subsist only what you grow for yourself, some of your money is going to someone that is doing something you don't like.
