 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. One of Helen's oldest and closest comrades paid tribute to her unflagging attention to the education and training of the party membership, particularly the youth. The American and world population are now flying blind into what could be a catastrophic winter storm of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths. On the fifth day of the Zionist regime's savage onslaught after it unilaterally declared an end to the week-long pause in fighting, the United Nations said it was impossible to ensure "so-called safe zones" for civilians anywhere in Gaza due to the ferocity and scope of air and ground attacks. Workers and youth at Peradeniya University discuss upcoming meetings to be addressed by SEP(US) National Secretary Joseph Kishore, on "Leon Trotsky and the fight for socialism in the 21st century." Support Australian school strikes! Build a socialist anti-war movement to stop the genocide and war! The perspective of pressuring governments is a dead-end. Instead we need to build a movement of the working class against them and the system responsible for the genocide, capialism. Seeking to curb democratic rights and chill public displays of opposition to the genocide in Gaza, right-wing House members questioned university presidents for over three hours on the false premise that mass opposition by young people and students to Israeli genocide and Zionism was an expression of antisemitism.

Pseudo-left parties of the affluent middle class are shielding Podemos and Sumar by blocking a movement in the working class against Spain's capitalist government in which they sit as coalition partners of the Socialist Party (PSOE).

Britain's military role in the region is maintained to ensure its ruling elite profit from the spoils of genocide and war, as the trusted partners of US imperialism. The Biden administration is doing its utmost to play down and contain the fallout from the explosive DOJ indictment, so as to ensure that the anti-China Indo-US "global strategic partnership" can continue to expand at full throttle. The announced resumption of peace talks was the product of nearly two years of secret negotiations with the aim of ending domestic armed conflict so the Philippine military can focus on preparations for war with China. After delivering a 95 percent strike authorization, the California Faculty Association has organized only isolated one-day strikes over four days. In attacking actors, whose only "crime" was to wear Arabic scarves during a curtain call, the proponents of Israel's genocide have inadvertently pointed to the bogus character of their entire campaign. Three homeless men were murdered last week in Los Angeles. Their killings were the outcome of sustained ruling class efforts to demonize the homeless population in the nation's second largest city.
