Free Ukrainian socialist Bogdan Syrotiuk!
The arrest of Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is an attack on democratic rights
 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. All charges must be dropped against Stein and the hundreds of others who have been arrested while protesting in recent weeks. ICC prosecutors have interviewed medical personnel at Shifa and Nasser hospitals, where Israeli forces reportedly carried out summary executions and dumped bodies in mass graves. Students have taken a courageous stand. But we, the working class, have to be the base of the fight against war. Police officers employed force, using batons and painful holds in breaking up the peaceful protest camp, then immediately kettled a spontaneous counter-demonstration, arresting dozens of participants. The anger expressed by students over the support of the political establishment for Israel's genocide in Gaza is shared by thousands who have participated in protests. Murdoch's Australian blatantly sought to link a Sydney University anti-genocide encampment to a witch hunt against seven Islamic teenagers arrested last week on flimsy "terrorism" charges. Imperialist war is incompatible with democracy. The more openly the German government pursues rearmament and war, the more the freedom of expression must give way to political censorship and conformity. The ongoing crisis around the Scottish National Party marks the end of all claims that the SNP, and its project of Scottish independence represents a left alternative. The FDA reported last week that one in five milks samples from US retail stores contained fragments of the H5N1 bird flu that has recently infected dairy cows in the US. Albanese arrived a little over 24 hours after the Chinese foreign minister left, and couched his entire visit in terms of collaboration between Australia and its then colony in World War II. Led by young workers and Middle Eastern families, more than 100 people rallied and marched through Surfers Paradise on Saturday to denounce the intensifying Israeli genocide in Gaza and the Australian Labor government's support for it. We call on all students at Sri Lankan universities and higher education institutions, and the working class, to defend protesting US students and to oppose the Netanyahu government's genocidal military operation in Gaza. The picture presented by the governor of the Italian central bank was of a world in which all the economic and political institutions set in place after 1945 to prevent war are breaking down. In the "historic" 2023 contract the UAW lifted all restrictions on management's right to impose mandatory overtime, including seven-day operations. The Federal Aviation Administration announced new working hour rules for air traffic controllers following a runway incident at Reagan National Airport on April 18 in which two jetliners came within 400 feet of each other. Some writers and directors are making heartfelt films about the poor and oppressed. The German Train Drivers' Union has announced that 77 percent of its members voted in favor of accepting the collective agreement the union reached with Deutsche Bahn. The GDL provided no information on the turnout. Non-contract teachers in Sao Paulo, Brazil strike against privatization, while a strike vote by Canadian rail workers at CPKC and CN is set to conclude May 1. The Hi-Viz policy was a key issue when railroaders pushed for strike action in 2022, before it was pre-emptively banned by Congress and Biden. Confronted with the loss of thousands of jobs, 10,000 steel workers from Thyssenkrupp and HKM are holding a joint works meeting on April 30 in Duisburg. As 200,000 took part in a national demonstration against the Gaza genocide in London on Saturday, thousands more participated in local protests around the country.
