The economic boycott of American and Israeli enemy's goods is a topic worthy of serious attention, as it poses a significant danger to enemies who seek to divert Arab nations and peoples toward other concerns, according to the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi.

In his address today, the leader brought the weapon of economic boycott back to the forefront—a tool used by Arabs since the 1950s but subsequently dismantled through the trajectory of Arab normalization with the enemy entity.

 

Enemies Amass Wealth from Raw Materials, Sell Back Finished Goods

Sayyed Abdulmalik emphasized that "enemies amass enormous wealth from raw materials extracted from our countries, then resell them to us as finished goods at the highest prices." This situation, he explained, exists amid a low state of Islamic production and the dominance of a massive consumerist culture.

He called upon Muslims to "be mindful of escaping the burden of complicity in supporting the crimes of Jews, Zionists, America, and the Israeli enemy entity, and their corruption on earth, aggression against the Muslim nation, and spread of misguidance."

 

Enemies Depend on Financial Power

The leader highlighted that America and the Zionist entity depend on financial funding for their military strength, as well as for their aggressive programs and media and political activities. He noted that "the enemies understand this reality more than our peoples, who suffer from a lack of awareness," leaving them unable to achieve their great objectives of becoming a strong, dignified nation moving with its Islamic message, values, and principles.

Sayyed Abdulmalik raised a critical point: "Many of the resources and vast wealth in the nations of the region are channeled to serve the Zionist Jewish enemy and its arms—America and Israeli enemy." These resources are used to solve economic problems and increase enemy strength.

He recalled that when America faced major financial crises, including the 2008 crisis and subsequent inflation and budget deficits that reached the point of government shutdown due to lack of funding, "the solution was for the American president to turn to Arab countries—foremost and exclusively the Gulf countries—for 'milking,' obtaining trillions of dollars."

These funds were then used to resolve economic crises and unemployment, "providing thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of jobs, thanks to what he brought from the heart of the Islamic world and the Arab world."

 

$14 Trillion: Arab-Islamic Investment in America

The leader cited media reports indicating that "Arab-Islamic financial investment in America reaches fourteen trillion dollars—an extremely terrifying matter." He explained that "most Arab and Islamic banks' funds and reserves, and many companies, are there, stacked in America, invested and exploited for American interests before others."

Citing examples, Sayyed Abdulmalik noted: "When America fled from Afghanistan, it became clear that the Afghan people had ten billion dollars in America, which America controls and has refused to return to the Afghan people despite their suffering. Similarly, the Yemeni Central Bank—it became clear that its dollar reserves are not in Sana'a but in America and Britain, controlled by Americans and Britons."

 

Economic Interests Tied to Zionist Enemy

The leader raised an extremely dangerous point: "Many economic interests in Arab countries are tied to America and Britain, and now there is a trend to tie them to the Zionist enemy—at the level of import, export, and even oil exports through occupied Palestine under Israeli enemy control."

He noted the existence of a declared scheme to replace the Suez Canal with another passage they call "Ben Gurion Canal," heading to the Mediterranean as an alternative project.

He added that there is a trend to "link communications, internet, commercial and economic activity to the Zionist enemy under the umbrella of normalization," which they intend to fully bind the Islamic nation's interests and resources to the Zionist enemy. "This is a catastrophe," Sayyed Abdulmalik warned, "because it is a means of enslaving peoples, leaving all their economic interests and essential life needs under complete enemy control."

 

Client Governments Serve the Enemy

The leader noted that "the official orientation always comes from client governments and those who assume official representation of their countries to serve the enemies of this nation." He explained that they "sign documents and agreements in economic fields and national resources to serve America, Britain, and the West," while peoples remain in misery, deprivation, severe suffering, and continuous economic crises.

Sayyed Abdulmalik argued that "the great misery suffered by many peoples is not because God has deprived them of resources, but because they suffer from two problems: first, the problem of knowing these resources exist and directing to invest and benefit from them and thank God for them; second, leaving all this for the benefit of colonial, infidel, unjust, covetous powers that exploit these countries' resources—and they are the enemies of these peoples."

He cited examples: "For centuries, America, Britain, and France have plundered Arab and African countries' resources." Sierra Leone, one of the world's richest nations in diamonds, sees its primary investor and beneficiary as "the Zionist enemy." Similarly, France possesses a massive gold reserve obtained from African countries suffering from extreme misery and poverty, having exploited their uranium resources at the cheapest prices.

 

Preventing Extraction of Yemeni Oil

The leader noted that "vast resources in many countries are prevented from investment so that enemies can maintain control over them." In Yemen, "the American ambassador himself said that Yemen remains virgin in its resources, and America wants to extract and exploit all these resources."

He pointed out that "the Saudi regime, completely tied to the British project first and then the American, has prevented oil extraction in Al-Jawf province, as well as in Al-Mahra province—where foreign companies were bribed to leave—and in Hadramout." This is because "the Saudis do not want the Yemeni people to live with dignity from their economic resources; rather, they want them subjugated to Saudi temptation and interests."

Sayyed Abdulmalil raised a critical point: "Major companies provide support to the Zionist Israeli enemy—even to kill the Palestinian people. This is a catastrophe."

He emphasized the religious responsibility to boycott American and Israeli goods. "Just as Muslims boycotted the word 'Ra'ina' because the Jews were benefiting from it, and as the Quran contains severe warnings and prohibitions—'And do not cooperate in sin and aggression'—materially supporting enemies constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression. This is an extremely serious matter that must be at the forefront of our considerations."
