 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The IYSSE demands that all faculty, students and organizations that have been terminated, expelled or suspended be immediately reinstated. The broadest possible support must be mobilized among youth and in the working class to fight for this demand. Israel's genocide in Gaza and its strikes on Iranian and Syrian targets, backed by the NATO powers, have placed the region on the brink of total war. For political and tactical reasons Israel may decide to hold back at least in the short term, but it is widely understood that the possibility of such an attack exists. 80 years after the end of the Nazi dictatorship, the ruling class in Germany is dispensing with its democratic mask. The suppression of the Palestine Congress in Berlin is reminiscent of the darkest times in German history. Nine employees were arrested for occupying the corporate offices of Google in New York and California on Tuesday as part of a protest to demand an end to the company's Project Nimbus contract with the Israeli government and military. Embracing trade war measures even more provocative than those of Trump, the Democratic president appeared before an enthusiastic audience of United Steelworkers union bureaucrats in Pittsburgh. The US is seeking to prosecute Assange on charges under the Espionage Act which carry a de facto life sentence for publishing documents exposing war crimes and human rights abuses carried out by Washington and its imperialist allies. Money to pay the debt will not come from slowing economic growth but through deepening attacks on the working class. At a meeting organized on Sunday, April 14 with the support of the World Socialist Web Site, a group of Canada Post workers passed a resolution calling for the establishment of a Postal Workers Rank-and-file Committee. Based on questioning during oral arguments Tuesday, the right-wing Supreme Court majority appears poised to rule in favor of dismissing some or all criminal charges against January 6 insurrectionists for violating a federal statute that prohibits obstructing official proceedings. Boeing's harassment and threats against Salehpour raise new questions about the death of another whistleblower, John Barnett. Barroso was speaking less than a week after the 60th anniversary of the bloody US-backed coup of 1964, in which the Brazilian military overthrew elected president João Goulart. Indians will go to the polls this Friday in more than 100 Lok Sabha constituencies in the first phase of a seven-phase national election that is to conclude June 1. The rapid declaration grants police sweeping powers that override fundamental civil liberties and serves to heighten religious and other tensions among ordinary people. While the far-right coalition government has slashed more than 3,000 public sector jobs in a matter of weeks, the corporatist trade unions have made clear that nothing will be done to defend a single job. The proposed agreement has been repeatedly watered down based on considerations of corporate profit and national interests. The claim that "there is no money" is a lie. In Michigan, where the Democrats fully control the state government, corporate handouts—particularly to the automakers—amount to billions.
