Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The "peace" agreement has sanctified the permanent Israeli occupation and annexation of a large portion of Gaza, coupled with daily mass killing and the deliberate starvation of the population. Federal food stamps funding is a few days from being exhausted, while thousands of federal employees lined up Tuesday outside of a DC-area food bank. In a mafia-style shakedown, President Donald Trump is demanding that his hand-picked Justice Department appointees approve some $230 million, paid for by taxpayers, in compensation for investigations conducted during and after his first term in office. In 1975, the ICFI launched the Security and the Fourth International investigation, systematically exposing decades of GPU infiltration and the SWP cover-up around Trotsky's assassination, and reaffirming orthodox Trotskyism. Planter, a US veteran and mercenary, has continued to receive support from "progressive" Democrats even after it was revealed he had a Totenkopf, the favored symbol of Hitler's SS, on his chest for nearly two decades. A filmmaker seeking to dramatize the explosive political climate in 2020 would be faced with significant artistic challenges, but also major opportunities. Since the massive No Kings protests across the US on October 18, the Trump administration has stepped up attacks on democratic rights with violent ICE raids on immigrants in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and southern Idaho, and the mobilization of National Guard troops to suppress public opposition. California's deployment of the National Guard to food banks exposes the deepening social crisis and the ruling class's turn toward militarization under the guise of humanitarian aid. While Thursday's strike will be a powerful demonstration of the potential power that workers have, a single day's strike will do nothing to stop the worsening onslaught on basic social rights. The arrest escalates the two-year campaign against Dr. Aladwan, a National Health Service doctor for seven years with an impeccable record--with her persecution organised by the highest levels of the state, including by Labour Health Secretary Wes Streeting. By building "Europe's strongest conventional army" and potentially arming Germany with nuclear weapons, Chancellor Merz announced a new stage in war preparations. Industry is simultaneously being restructured for a war economy. In his acceptance speech for the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, historian Karl Schlögel declared military victory over Russia to be the decisive question for Europe's destiny. The new Japanese government marks a turning point in the ruling class's agenda to reassert its imperialist interests militarily at the expense of the working class. Labor's retreat followed months of intensive agitation in ruling-class circles and the establishment media against any taxation on the massively expanding wealth of the rich. Hundreds of thousands of workers and young people recognise the need for a mass socialist party to oppose genocide, war and dictatorship. Your Party is not that party. The repression sends a message to imperialism and the multinationals that the new government will guarantee the profits extracted from the exploitation of Peruvian workers. Stellantis' decision to shift Jeep production from Brampton to the US and GM's shutdown of its CAMI plant in Ingersoll expose the disastrous impact of Trump's tariffs and Unifor's nationalist, pro-corporate alliance with the Carney government.
