 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The bureaucracy is attempting to get ahead of and suppress opposition because it knows its deal with Ford will be massively unpopular. As the death toll of Israel's genocide against the Palestinians eclipsed 7,000, the U.S. announced Thursday it would send another 900 troops to the Middle East. On Wednesday October 25, an Israeli airstrike in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the south of Gaza targeted and killed the family of Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief, Wael al-Dahdouh. As more information becomes known, anger is building over the agreement the UAW announced Wednesday night. While excluding any concrete details from its latest "bargaining update," the Unifor bureaucracy made clear that its focus is two pronged: forcing through its Detroit Three sellout pattern over opposition at Stellantis and expanding dues collection to workers at the automaker's new EV battery plant. Christoph Vandreier, chairman of the Sozialistische Gleichheitspartei, presented the expanded new edition of Leon Trotsky's "Portrait of National Socialism". As his presentation showed, these writings about Germany, written 90 years ago, are of the utmost relevance today. There is hardly any other country in which the government, political parties and media support the criminal war of the far-right Netanyahu regime against the Palestinian civilian population in such a united and aggressive manner. Robert Card, a 40-year-old US Army Reservist, has been identified as the perpetrator of the deadliest mass shooting in the history of Maine and in 2023, so far. For more than a week after the Netanyahu regime declared war on the Palestinian people, Australia's union leadership said nothing at all, signalling their support for the mass killing of civilians by an imperialist power. The explosion of a broader regional war in the Middle East could lead to a renewed global energy crisis. The looming prospect of a regional or global war involving the United States and Iran has thrown the Turkish bourgeoisie into a desperate crisis. The courageous stand taken by the Green Brigade was vindicated in the stands around Celtic Park and particularly the North Curve section as fans responded to their appeal to defy the gagging of free speech. The action against students' right to protest is part of a wider clampdown at SOAS. Over the past fortnight, large numbers of security personnel have been deployed at entry points to the campus and inside buildings. Police have harassed and questioned students simply for wearing a keffiyeh. According to ABC News, Donald Trump's final Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has testified before the grand jury in the federal election interference case brought by special counsel Jack Smith in exchange for immunity. Healthcare workers want to fight, nit are facing not only St. Joseph Providence administrators, but the SEIU-UHW bureaucracy. The Socialist Equality Group and the International Youth and Students for Social Equality will hold a public meeting at Victoria University of Wellington on November 13 to oppose the genocidal war against the people of Gaza. Broad sectors of the population coalesced around numerous demands, with the defense of public healthcare and education foremost, in the largest demonstration since at least 2019. Students in high schools, colleges and universities across Spain walk out of classes to oppose genocide in Gaza; protests in Iran by oil workers over poor pay and attacks on pensions; unofficial action by Tshwane bus workers in South Africa continues after three-month strike in face of court ruling and sackings A Communication Workers Union press release announcing the strike vote is framed at preventing any strike from taking place, emphasising its partnership with management.
