 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Netanyahu's guilt is imperialism's guilt. The entire American political establishment, from the Biden administration and the Democratic Party to the Republican Party and the incoming Trump administration, has supported the genocide and has united in condemning the ICC decision. By agreeing to Ukraine firing Storm Shadow cruise missiles into Russian territory, Starmer has made a de facto declaration of war without so much as a debate in parliament. The Department of Defense published a report on Thursday with details of changes to US arms strategy in an environment of multiple nuclear peer adversaries, especially Russia and China. On the very first day the majority-JVP/NPP parliament was convened, the new government jettisoned its election pledge to renegotiate the country's bailout agreement with the IMF to protect the most vulnerable. On Wednesday, the carmaker Ford announced the elimination of a further 4,000 jobs in Europe, including 2,900 at its headquarters in Cologne. The artist's $6 million work highlights the tremendous hype and speculation that have come to characterize the art market — and to degrade art itself. Carey Dale Grayson was reportedly conscious for six agonizing minutes, during which he gasped for air, struggled with his restraints and shook violently. Despite the fact Brandon Durham, 43 provided police an accurate description of the home intruder, Las Vegas cop Alexander Bookman shot Durham six times, including in the head, once he entered Durham's home. Workers have suffered a near 10 percent cut in living standards in just four years, further exposing the fraud of Labor's May 2022 election pledge of a "better future." Labour, the Greens, Te Pāti Māori and the pseudo-left ISO have sought to keep the anti-government protests within the framework of capitalist politics by glorifying the Treaty of Waitangi, falsely promoting this colonial document as the means to end racism and inequality. As a result of privatisation, workers face the same risks of dismissal, wage cuts, loss of social rights and even increased risk of death and injury in precarious conditions as in other companies. Despite years in power at both the national and Valencian regional levels, these parties have done nothing to protect the population from climate change-induced floods. Sixty years after the US-backed 1964 military coup, revelations by the Federal Police have shown that Brazil was close to a new coup and the establishment of a dictatorship after Bolsonaro's electoral defeat. Haiti's interim prime minister was ousted last week by the Transitional Council—the government "oversight mechanism" that the US, Canada and various factions of the country's bourgeois elite put together earlier this year to provide a fig leaf of "popular" legitimacy for the latest imperialist-sponsored military intervention in the Western Hemisphere's poorest country. With olive branches to pass Labor's pro-business housing and environmental legislation, the Greens are again signaling that they are a "responsible" party of capitalist rule. Rural carriers, whose salaries have been slashed by tens of thousands under a new evaluation system, were notified earlier this week that they would be invoiced for overpayment supposedly due to inaccurate accounting for route adjustments. Over a year ago, workers at the Chippewa Falls facility went on strike, but Teamsters officials isolated their efforts, offering weak appeals to the Democratic Party. Now, the agreement's sellout nature is clear, leaving workers unemployed midway through its term—a so-called 'victory' has ended in defeat due to the Teamsters' betrayals. Timothy Cartwell, a Baltimore resident and sanitation worker, died after being pinned between a trash truck and a utility pole in a tight alley earlier this month.

South Korea: Seoul Metro workers fight for higher pay; India: Delhi Transport Corporation contract workers strike; Western Australian power utility workers walk out over wages; Nurses and midwives at Healthscope hospitals in Newcastle strike; New Zealand nurses to hold nationwide strikes The call by the CWU for "engagement" is a blueprint for a surrender document Mark II, not a call to arms for postal workers.
