 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The campaign over alleged mass rape is timed to coincide with the resumption of the Israeli war on Gaza, following the brief "pause." The deliberate targeting of the healthcare infrastructure in Gaza intends to allow the "slow death" by starvation, dehydration and disease to kill the population. The resumption of hostilities is seeing a new wave of deaths and destruction. Emerging from a tense and angry meeting with members of the "war cabinet" on Tuesday, they denounced the government, saying it has no plan to secure the release of the remaining hostages and that its tactics were endangering their lives. Barbara Slaughter, the longest-running active member of the International Committee of the Fourth International, paid tribute to the half-century-plus struggle of Comrade Helen to educate workers and young people in the international socialist principles of Trotskyism. We are publishing here the tribute to Helen Halyard given by Cheryl Crisp, the national secretary of the Socialist Equality Party of Australia, to a memorial meeting for Comrade Helen held by the Socialist Equality Party (US) and the International Committee of the Fourth International on Sunday, December 3. In a video interview, Kishore spoke about the significance of the meetings being held in Sri Lanka and the connection between the capitalist crisis and the history of the Trotskyist movement. The SEG in Turkey held a public meeting in Istanbul on Sunday titled "Stop Israel's genocide in Gaza! Socialist internationalism and the struggle against Zionism and imperialism." When Johnson voiced his indifference to mass death, declaring "Let the bodies pile high in their thousands!", he spoke as the authentic representative of the ruling class and its political and scientific flunkeys. Families gathered to protest on the day former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, whose policies led to over 233,000 deaths in Britain, was beginning two days of testimony. The UAW has launched what it calls and "unprecedented" effort to unionize nonunion auto plants under conditions of growing militancy and class struggle in an effort to contain this movement in a corporatist straitjacket. The deal backed by the UAW is virtually unchanged from the previous three union-endorsed agreements that Lear workers rejected since early August, by 95 percent, 75 percent, and 72 percent respectively. Over 20 Title VI Shared Ancestry Investigations have been initiated by the Department of Education since October 7. While a deliberate massacre of the women and children of Gaza is being committed before the eyes of the whole world, the RUB has banned the International Youth and Students for Social Equality group from organising an event entitled "Stop the genocide in Gaza!" When only a little more than a third of the membership bothers to vote in such circumstances, this has to be considered a vote of non-confidence in the union leadership. Yellow's asset auction raised more than enough funds to pay off its nearly $1.6 billion in debt. The meeting, in Sydney and online, will discuss the revolutionary socialist perspective required to end the genocide and its source, the capitalist system. Protesters rallied outside parliament on Tuesday after the incoming National Party-NZ First-ACT coalition government issued statements continuing to justify Israel's genocidal bombing and siege of Gaza as a defensive action. There is concern that an Evergrande liquidation could severely impact the ability of other corporations, not only highly indebted real estate developers, to raise money in international financial markets. Several people were shot during an active shooter event at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas a day after six people were killed during a killing spree in Austin. Both Washington and Tokyo are challenging the "One China" policy in order to provoke a clash with Beijing and launch long-standing plans for war against China. The reaction of the German state to pro-Palestinian protests betrays the ruling class's fear of a mass movement of the working class against war and exploitation. This misery stands in the shadow of the monumental residences of the rich. Perhaps the most obscene example is at Embassy Gardens in Nine Elms, southwest London, where, 10 storeys up, sits the "Sky Pool", described as the world's first swimming-pool bridge, connecting two sections of the luxury development.
