 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Just as the ruling elites have normalized genocide and nuclear war, they have deliberately normalized ongoing mass death and human suffering through the unhindered spread of COVID-19. After over 100 people were killed in a terrorist attack in Iran, the US military has "prepared options" for attacking Yemen, the Wall Street Journal reported. Israel's assault on Gaza refutes forever all claims that democratic rights can be defended in Israel other than through a movement centred on opposition to the systematic and bloody dispossession and repression of the Palestinians, and rejecting any support for the Zionist state and all its political representatives. The annihilation of Gaza and the expanding military operations of the imperialist powers in the Middle East is only one front in a developing global conflict. What remains of American democracy is collapsing, its institutions and conventions having been rotted out by staggering levels of social inequality and the turn by the entire ruling class to a state policy of genocide, as in Gaza, and global war. The Deschenes Commission was given a remit framed to ensure it would produce a whitewash. Ottawa would not tolerate the disruption of the close political relations it had developed over decades with the Nazis' Ukrainian far-right collaborators. A deeply reviled Tory government is only able to denounce junior doctors' pay demand as unaffordable thanks to the collaboration of all the major health unions in sabotaging the NHS strike wave of the past year. The Rail Action Committee writes that In order to enforce train drivers' demands and prevent the GDL executive board from selling out the strike, an indefinite full strike is necessary. In order to secure $60 billion more for Washington's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, New York Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and the DSA are silent on Biden's moves to abrogate the right to asylum and ramp up deportations. A three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled on Tuesday that federal emergency-care guidelines do not permit doctors to perform abortions in Texas even when a pregnancy threatens a woman's life. In contrast to official propaganda about the end of the pandemic, COVID continues to spread and cost many lives. Tom Smothers demonstrated an anti-establishment streak, in relation not only to the Vietnam War but other social issues, which led CBS executives, in April 1969, to cancel The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. The main target of this brutal police operation is the working class now coming into struggle against the Wickremesinghe government's International Monetary Fund dictated austerity measures. Based on press reports and on information provided to the World Socialist Web Site, the layoffs appear to be concentrated among part-time warehouse workers, especially those working daytime sort shifts. "There are Israeli strikes on Lebanon, threats against Yemen, and there's an attempt to get Iran involved. It's looking like World War Three." Interest rate rises to bring defaults and lift "delinquent" loans to highest point in a decade. The discussions over amnesty are meant to give the impression that Thailand has entered into a peaceful political period while attacks on workers' conditions are being prepared behind the scenes.
