 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Biden is campaigning as the defender of democracy, but his priority is securing tens of billions more dollars for the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. To get it he will destroy the rights of immigrants and witch-hunt workers and youth who oppose US/Israeli genocide against the Palestinians. Members of both US political parties seized upon the attacks to call for a direct US attack on Iran, in a move that would greatly intensify the sprawling war throughout the Middle East triggered by Israel's genocide in Gaza. Protesting farmers threatened to blockade the Rungis food market, the world's largest food market by turnover, which supplies produce for the greater Paris area. US military figure were among those backing calls to massively expand the Armed Forces. Carlos Del Toro, the US navy secretary, said, "But I would argue, quite frankly, that given the near-term economic threats to the United Kingdom and the United States that investments in their navy are significantly important." Rank-and-file workers denounced the UAW's support for a "shift production competition." The opening of investigations of universities over false claims of antisemitism represents a coordinated effort between the Democratic Party and the far-right to silence opposition to the genocide in Gaza. Autoworkers in Michigan and Ohio denounced the decision by the United Auto Workers apparatus to endorse Biden's reelection. While it continues the hated TIAREAP system behind the backs of city carriers, NALC is also seeking to impose the next contract without a vote from the membership through binding interest arbitration, as they did in 2014. Jewison is especially identified with liberal views, including concerns about bigotry and various forms of social injustice. An examination of the Zionist organisations refutes their claims to speak for the Jewish community, instead exposing them as propagandists of the Israeli state. "I strongly condemn the victimisation of CEB employees. We are all workers and when they are victimised, we must rise to defend them"—Sri Lankan railway worker. Jury trial of Oxford High School shooter's mother on manslaughter charges opens in Pontiac, Michigan The effort to convict Jennifer and James Crumbley and send them to prison is, in essence, an attempt to scapegoat them for the broader, toxic social problems of capitalist society that are behind the epidemic of mass shootings in schools and workplaces across the US. The GDL train drivers' union has already backed away from its earlier demands. It wants to prevent a broader mobilisation, but this is precisely what many of the strikers are demanding. This column profiles important historical events which took place during this week, 25 years ago, 50 years ago, 75 years ago and 100 years ago. Historian Robert Sutton speaks on commercial real estate threat to Civil War battlefield at Manassas Robert Sutton was the Superintendent of Manassas National Battlefield Park for over 12 years and later Chief Historian of the National Park Service. Two lawsuits filed by prisoners provide yet another glimpse into the barbarity of the American gulag, detailing the brutal beating and waterboarding of the men at the hands of prison guards.
