 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an address before the United Nations General Assembly on Friday in which he vowed to defy international law, gloated about committing mass murder and terrorism, and vowed to continue the Gaza genocide in defiance of world public opinion. Workers began to spontaneously walkout Thursday afternoon in Atlantic Canada soon after Liberal Public Works Minister Joël Lightbound announced the implementation of a "transformation plan" which would gut operations and slash jobs. The indictment of former FBI director James Comey on Thursday is a significant step in the establishment of a personalist presidential dictatorship under Donald Trump. By moving to jail his opponents within the political establishment, Trump is seeking to consolidate his power to smash the democratic rights of the working class. In this article by Ukrainian journalists, deserters from the NATO-backed Ukrainian army speak out about their experiences. By treating political beliefs as the "animating threads" of terrorism, NSPM-7 provides a pseudo-legal justification for the persecution of individuals and organizations on the basis of their political convictions. The Trump White House issued an executive order on Thursday called, "Saving TikTok While Protecting National Security," that approves the framework for a deal to place the Chinese-based social media platform under more than 80 percent US corporate ownership. At a meeting for workers returning from layoff, management and United Auto Workers officials maintained a guilty silence about the death of the 63-year-old skilled tradesman. Chief magistrate Goldspring's excoriating judgement could only come about because of the Starmer government's attempt to ride roughshod over basic democratic norms. The children's TV channel KiKa's editorial team—and with it the German elites—are apparently determined to reconnect with the militarist traditions of the Kaiser's Empire and the Nazi era—starting with the youngest. The laying of the charge is an exercise in damage control, amid revelations indicating that the attack on the small protest was ordered at the highest levels of the police and state Labor government. This meltdown, the second such disaster in less than two years, has shocked the population by showing the dubious reliability of the 000 system, which is a life-and-death issue. The assembled pseudo-left groups offered Sultana a hero's welcome, making clear their loyalty to Your Party despite Corbyn banning them from joining. After two years of ongoing mass protests around the world, it is time to take political stock: What is the political, historical and economic background to the genocide?—And what strategy and perspective can stop it? Hours before the back-to-back executions, Trump signed a presidential memo directing the US attorney general to "fully enforce" the death penalty for federal crimes in Washington D.C., which abolished capital punishment in 1981. The mostly muted criticism of the Trump administration, including its massacre of civilians in the Caribbean, came as Latin America's militaries staged war games with the same US forces perpetrating these criminal attacks. A separate state bill, passed in 2023, allows teachers to carry firearms in school as the "solution" to mass shootings. Teachers are being crushed by an ever-expanding administrative workload, while also being asked to deal with the increasing and complex social and emotional traumas of students and their families. The strike by 6,000 doctors follows nationwide strikes by tens of thousands of teachers and nurses against the government's austerity measures.
