 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The aim of the Israeli onslaught, fully backed by the Biden administration and the European governments, is to kill as many Palestinians as possible and to render Gaza dysfunctional and uninhabitable. Ford Blue President Kumar Galhotra said the company has "reached its limit" and will not offer any more money to meet workers' demands GM workers must mobilize to defeat the pattern sellout through the formation of rank-and-file committees in every plant which can take control of the contract struggle from the corrupt Unifor bureaucracy and place power back in the hands of workers on the shop floor. Thousands of people gathered in Paris on Thursday night to protest the Israeli onslaught against the Gaza Strip despite the French government's blanket ban on pro-Palestinian protests. A state crackdown is being imposed amid hysterical and unprecedented calls by the ruling Conservatives that anyone opposing Israel's genocidal war is treated as a supporter of terrorism. There have been spontaneous pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Germany this week, despite efforts by the German government, police and courts to ban all protests against the Israeli army's brutal crackdown on Gaza. The referendum will solve nothing. The key issue is building a movement against the the entire political establishment, and its program of war, austerity and dictatorship. For workers and young people who want to fight against war and oppression, and for an end to capitalism, the only option is to oppose Labour, National and all their allies and build the Socialist Equality Group. The following lecture was delivered by Chris Marsden, the national secretary of the Socialist Equality Party (UK), and Ulaş Ateşçi, a leading member of the Sosyalist Eşitlik Grubu (Socialist Equality Group) in Turkey, to the SEP (US) International Summer School, held between July 30 and August 4, 2023. Before Macron's televised speech, his political advisers told the media that his position faces deep opposition and that they fear it might explode into uncontrollable protests. The German parliament has given the Israeli government carte blanche to take cruel revenge on the Palestinian population for the uprising in the Gaza Strip and has promised to support it with all available means. The proposed tradeoff is to provide Democratic votes to elect a Republican House Speaker in return for approval of a further massive increase in military spending for the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza. A broad assortment of reactionary figures, from Ted Cruz to Nikole Hannah-Jones, converged on the capital city of Austin, Texas for the annual Texas Tribune Festival. Adapting Dahl's work seems to have brought something new out of Anderson. The result, while not earth-shaking, is at times quite moving and fascinating. Police are threatening to invoke "extraordinary powers" against a Sydney protest this Sunday, which could include mass searches, enormous fines and terms of imprisonment. "In the referendum, the media is saying we need to acknowledge indigenous rights. But when something happens in Palestine, they ignore the rights of the Palestinians." The NT intervention initiated by the Coalition government of John Howard, with the bipartisan support of the Labor Party, demonstrates all too clearly the regressive agenda of both the Yes and No camps in the current Voice referendum. Wall Street is preparing to reap billions of dollars from the sale of Yellow's assets while many Yellow workers struggle to find new jobs The sudden flurry of negotiations between Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) and the United Steelworkers (USW) suggests that the months-long strike of 1,700 nurses in New Brunswick, New Jersey, is in imminent danger of being betrayed. Education workers, parents and students call for a unified struggle by the working class, indigenous and non-indigenous, against the racialist policies of both the Yes and No camps. Recent rapid rises in global bond yields provide a "glimpse of the abruptness with which financial conditions can tighten." Where the Socialist Campaign Group's John McDonnell has criticisms of the Labour Party, it is solely out of concern that its leadership is unnecessarily alienating workers and young people who might otherwise be lured into supporting the party. Strikes by teachers and support workers continue in parts of Lithuania, Portugal, Belgium, Montenegro, Germany and Serbia over pay, conditions and funding; protests across Middle East including in Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, the Yemen and Jordan in response to Israeli bombing of Gaza; polytechnic workers in Abeokuta, Nigeria begin indefinite strike over non-payment of salaries and allowances for three months 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.
