 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The stock market has been on a tear since the election of Donald Trump to the US presidency, as the financial oligarchy he represents salivates at the prospect of further boosting their already stratospheric levels of wealth under his administration. Human Rights Watch said Thursday that Israel was carrying out a "deliberate" policy of "ethnic cleansing" through the forcible and permanent displacement of virtually the entire population of Gaza. The film details the impact of fascistic Jewish settlers, backed by the Israeli military, on the Palestinian city of Hebron and its population. In the past few weeks, we have received around one hundred letters from 25 different countries from readers defending Bogdan and highlighting the political motives behind his imprisonment. The elevation of Kennedy to head the HHS will represent a massive social retrogression, akin to sending the United States—the world's richest capitalist country—back to the Middle Ages. In a nauseating 50+ minute video riddled with contradictions, the New York Representative cautioned against "sectarianism," that is, any fight to break from the Democratic Party and the two-party system and put an end to capitalism. The Dutch ruling class is trying to strengthen Schoof's right-wing government and grant it authoritarian powers to attack growing working class anger. The Postal Workers Rank-and-File Committee (PWRFC) says an immediate strike of all 55,000 urban and rural postal workers should be launched as soon as we are in a legal strike position Friday morning. But an all-out strike is only viable if workers take the struggle out of the hands of the CUPW bureaucrats, who connive with management, by building rank-and-file committees. Boeing is determined to impose the cost of the strike, estimated at over $10 billion, onto the backs of workers themselves. This article was submitted to the WSWS by Ukrainian underground journalists of the assembly.org.ua website. It provides further evidence of the ongoing disintegration of the NATO-backed Ukrainian army in a war that has already claimed the lives of half a million or more Ukrainian workers and youth. The APEC summit in Lima Peru takes place under the shadow of the growing conflict between the United States and China, which has become the main economic partner of Peru and South America as a whole. Despite his absence, the gathering is completely dominated by incoming US President Donald Trump and his trade war agenda. After two months on strike, 525 Eaton workers in Jackson, Michigan were forced by the UAW bureaucracy to vote on a fourth contract proposal, which was almost identical to the three they rejected before. After more than 10 weeks on strike, workers at Marathon Detroit Refinery are determined to win improved wages and stop subcontracting, healthcare cuts and dangerous work schedules. The apologies by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, opposition leader Chris Hipkins and various state bureaucrats were a PR exercise, following an inquiry that implicated successive governments in the abuse of hundreds of thousands of children. The Interim Government's brutal assault on striking garment workers shows that it is committed to the same big business agenda as the ousted Hasina regime. The Department of Defence and private weapons corporations are rolling out various programs directed towards primary and secondary school children. The tentative contract signed by the IG Metall union buttresses the ruling circles' right-wing offensive in the early general election. According to the National Audit Office, there are an estimated 258,000 people living in the 4,771 buildings over 11 metres requiring urgent remediation. Even that figure is an underestimation. Indefinite walkout by healthcare workers in Croatia over pay, unsafe work conditions and staff shortages; strikes and protests continue across Iran by teachers, nurses, petrochemical workers, the disabled and retirees as living standards plummet; protest against docking of American flagged ship with arms for Israel in Morocco as container ship prevented from docking in Spain In this interview, anti-war activist Guy Christensen shares his experiences, including being harassed by Zionists and targeted by the FBI for educating millions about the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza. The protests revealed broad opposition of workers and youth to the Gaza genocide, which European governments support by slandering opponents of genocide as "anti-Semites."
