 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. This lecture was given by World Socialist Web Site International Editorial Board Chairman David North at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany. On Monday, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced the formation of Operation Prosperity Guardian, a naval operation targeting the Houthi rebels in Yemen and threatening Iran. By a "permanent ceasefire," the two foreign ministers mean a peace on the bones of the Palestinians, a truce in the cemetery. Since the funding bill was first introduced in October, President Joe Biden has repeatedly called on Congress to pass his request, warning that the funds are imperative for Ukraine, and more broadly, for US national security. The far-right political conference featured dozens of Republican politicians, right-wing commentators, and other fascists, virtually all of whom embraced Trump's "stolen election," the antisemitic "Great Replacement Theory" and the genocide in Gaza. The purported chant was used by supporters of Israel to conflate all opposition to Zionist war crimes with antisemitism. But two months on, there is no evidence the chant was made. The meeting will discuss the need for a political struggle against the Labor government, which has backed the genocide, and the entire capitalist system that is responsible. Nearly half a trillion dollars was paid into the coffers of the banks and financial institutions, paid for by cuts in health, education and other vital facilities. Workers in Quebec and the rest of Canada have no interest in being used as cannon fodder to strengthen corporate Canada's position against its rivals on the global stage. The meeting was sponsored by the International Youth and Students for Social Equality and the Educators Rank-and-File Safety Committee in the US. WSWS reporter Dennis Moore interviewed Pring about the Museum of Austerity, his involvement in it and the issues it raises. The innovative installation utilises holographic/augmented technology creating life like images and recorded interviews with family members drawing together the terrible personal and social impact of over a decade of brutal austerity. The mass murder of refugees was the result of brutal "pushback" policies designed to prevent desperate refugees and asylum seekers from entering "Fortress Europe." The flood disaster has again exposed the lack of official preparations for such extreme weather events, which are becoming more frequent globally due to climate change, as scientists have warned for years. A new report from ProPublica says Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas campaigned publicly and privately for an increase in his salary and then suddenly dropped income complaints after he was showered with money and gifts from right-wing wealthy political supporters. Tennessee judge denies nurse RaDonda Vaught's motion to appeal to the nursing board for a new trial. Strikes are spreading in Argentina over "structural adjustments" announced by President Millei while sugar refinery workers in Vancouver are continuing a walkout against Rogers Sugar that has caused shortages. "Wow, Gaza and Gaza's dreams… Our dream has become to die a good death, not live a good life"—Yasmeen Abu Amer About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
