Soon after supporting Jewish oppression, IBM decided to switch tracks to supporting black oppression[1]. They were one of the biggest tech providers to the White Apartheid government in South Africa to enforce their brutality.
A successful bookseller in California chose to sell wholesale books to the Apartheid Govt of South Africa, even into the height of the media outcry, Nelson Mandela etc. When almost all the employees complained, the response was "we sell books to all people" .. which was clever, but probably not sincere. The objective was to make money, and the willingness of the govt and business in South Africa to buy went up when the political pressure was increasing, because trade partners were getting scarcer.. In short, it became easier and more profitable to sell to the besieged state. This scenario has probably repeated itself throughout history.
