 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The ruling class is terrified of the student protests because it can arouse the working class. A strike vote by graduate students in California shows there is a growing recognition that the methods of class struggle are required. The launch of Israel's long-planned assault on Rafah has created a humanitarian catastrophe, displacing tens of thousands of Gazans and threatening the entire population with starvation. This is the text of the introductory speech delivered by Will Lehman, an autoworker at Mack Trucks in Macungie, Pennsylvania, and member of the International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees, to the 2024 International May Day Online Rally. This is the text of the introductory speech delivered by Maxim Goldarb, head of the Union of Left Forces — For a New Socialism party, to the 2024 International May Day Online Rally. .In recent days, the campaign for the release of the Ukrainian Trotskyist Bogdan Syrotiuk, who was arrested by the Ukrainian Secret Service (SBU) on April 25 for his socialist opposition to the far-right Zelensky government and the NATO-instigated war between Russia and Ukraine, has gathered momentum. "Alongside Bogdan's arrest, students protesting against Israel's genocide in Gaza are being suppressed around the world." "Hind's Hall" gives expression to the mass opposition that has formed to the United States-sponsored genocide underway in Gaza, it takes several well-aimed shots at those politically responsible, in Israel and the U.S. While paying lip-service to independent thought, every school district official declared support for the Zionist state of Israel. Political action committees linked to the Biden campaign are attacking the campaigns of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Jill Stein of the Green Party and Cornel West. Inspired by anti-genocide protests on campuses across the United States defying a nationwide crackdown coordinated by the Biden administration that has led to thousands of arrests, students are occupying university halls and facilities across the continent. If such events had taken place in a country like Russia, China or Iran, there would be a massive campaign in the Western media about the dictatorial behaviour of these regimes. "What Israel has been doing to the people of Gaza is clearly a war crime and genocide. The Netanyahu administration has violated all the humanitarian laws." –Bangladeshi student. The summit unfolded under the shadow of French threats to send ground troops to Ukraine, and Russian threats to respond to a NATO ground invasion with nuclear weapons. The rise of Chinese hi-tech companies such as Huawei highlight the historic decline of US imperialism which is prepared to resort to all methods to maintain its global economic and military dominance. The Australian government and media, as well as the US, have deliberately inflated the incident, exploiting it to again ratchet up tensions with Beijing. TWU rank-and-file members must reject his slanders and countermand the threats of legal action. Instead, workers must organize actions in defense of the students. The austerity budget is another demonstration of the ruthlessly pro-business, anti-working class character of the Victorian state Labor government. President Lula is pursuing a corporatist agenda to integrate the unions into the state in order to suppress the class struggle in Brazil. As of writing, 14 sites have been established, at the Universities of Warwick, Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool, Oxford, Cambridge, Sheffield, Leeds, Aberdeen and Edinburgh, at Swansea and Newcastle University and at SOAS and UCL in London. As a US Navy ensign prepares to meet his fate, two older sailors try to give the young victim of the system a taste of the life he will be losing out on. The University of Chicago sent riot police to attack and break up the student protest encampment. Students have been threatened with suspension and eviction from campus housing if they continue to protest. During his one-minute video Walsh never challenged—or even referred to—his recent statement in support of a reduced Universal Service Obligation. His PR stunt will only reinforce the widespread view that nothing CWU officials say can be trusted.
