 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The brief prime-time address, seeking to connect the US military interventions in Ukraine and Israel, was an incoherent appeal that will anger rather than persuade those opposed to the worldwide explosion of American imperialism. While the Netanyahu government made final preparations for a ground offensive to intensify its genocidal onslaught on the Palestinians, the imminent danger of a regional escalation of the war was underscored by attacks on several US military bases in Syria and Iraq. Sentiment on the campus is overwhelmingly opposed to Israel's assault on Gaza, particularly after the hospital bombing this week that killed 500 Palestinians. "We want to see an end to this campaign of genocide that is currently happening," Sarah Shamy of the Palestinian Youth Movement, told the Montreal Gazette, "We want to see an end to the complicity of the western states, mainly Canada and the U.S. who every year send billions of dollars in military aid." Sunak followed in the footsteps of US President Joe Biden and Germany's Olaf Scholz, telling Netanyahu, "We want you to win."

Spacey's experience was especially punishing, but it exemplified the type of treatment meted out to the victims of the ongoing sexual misconduct smear campaign. Socialist Alternative's analysis of the referendum is an attack on the working class, exposing this organisation as a rightward moving representative of privileged layers of the affluent upper middle-class. Healthcare professionals in both Sydney and Melbourne organised their rallies independently of the doctors and nurses trade unions. We have to know first of all what we are up against, who our friends are, and who our enemies are, and develop a strategy which is based on a realistic understanding of the situation, not in illusions or wishful thinking. Workers at the JFK8 facility in Staten Island, New York, walked off the job during one of Amazon's busiest annual sales events. Workers at retail giant Amazon's warehouses in Italy and Germany stop work during the company's "Prime Day" promotion event; General strike across West Bank in response to Israeli genocidal assault on Gaza as Palestinian trade unions call on workers in other countries to prevent arms shipments to Israel; teachers march in Durban, South Africa to demand cost of living payments keep up with rising prices About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
