Even if you do not understand that multinational corporations and foreign investors already control the government, surely you can understand that they have enormous power to influence it. When they establish business connections with a tyrannical regime guilty of massive atrocities and daily human rights violations, obviously, that is a political statement, and strengthens the power of that oppressive regime.
Why should such corporations not be held accountable for providing decisive support for tyranny?
Why should they not be pressured to use their influence more responsibly?
Why should they not be forced to adhere to the basic principles of international law and the universal declaration of human rights?
Why should their economic power be immune from accountability?
Why should they be allowed to profit by making deals with dictators that deepen and prolong the suffering of the people?
Why, if someone in the US sends money to his family in Somalia, or Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Syria, or Palestine, he will be charged with providing material support for terrorists; while western investors and Gulf businessmen provide millions of dollars to a dictator like Sisi, whose extensive crimes are documented, committed in public, and affect millions of Egyptians, and there is no objection?
No. They are the financiers of injustice, they are providing material support to state terrorism. Their business deals have political repercussions, and they must be held accountable.
