 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Israeli leader is on a rampage because of the scale of the crimes his regime is implementing and the mass global opposition they are provoking. The deployment of a US amphibious intervention force with 2,200 Marines aboard shatters Washington's flimsy claims that it was engaged in counter-narcotics activity. The State Department said the government will begin reviewing all visa holders' social media accounts for posts or messages that evince support for "terrorism."

Israel and German state policy" by Daniel Marwecki shows that cooperation between Germany and Israel never had anything to do with atonement for the Shoah.

Ongoing job destruction at the Art Gallery of NSW and Creative NSW and other government cost-cutting measures are threatening the existence of state-funded art and cultural institutions. The Philadelphia Workers Rank-and-File Strike Committee calls for teachers and all city workers to build independent rank-and-file power to defeat austerity, union betrayal, and attacks on living standards. Workers, who began receiving their first meager strike paychecks only this week, are increasingly concluding that the IAM bureaucracy is not fighting to win their demands but is instead working to wear them down and force through another pro-company contract.
