 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Climate change, a direct result of the capitalist mode of production, threatens the continued existence of human civilization. The continuation of daily raids on the West Bank during the six-day truce in the bombardment of Gaza underscores the commitment of the Israeli regime to a policy of genocide against the Palestinian people, for which it enjoys the support of the imperialist powers in North America and Europe. Tens of thousands of highly exploited Thai agricultural workers remain in Israel as the Netanyahu government has intensified its genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza. With the death toll in Gaza exceeding 15,000 and the horror of Israel's war of annihilation made even more clear by on-the-spot reports during the bombing lull, and worldwide protests against the genocide continuing unabated, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is seeking to present himself as an evenhanded advocate for both the Israeli state and the Palestinians. The Zionist group's use of #MeToo style accusations to intimidate political opponents of the genocide in Gaza exposed the reactionary nature of the anti-democratic feminist politics supported by all sections of the French pseudo-left and the French trade union bureaucracies. The pseudo-left is seeking to bolster illusions in Labor and the union bureaucracy, the very forces in Australia that are supporting and facilitating Israel's genocide of the Palestinians. The UAW and Blue Cross Blue Shield announced a "verbal agreement" to end the 11-week strike without meeting workers' demands Instagram shut the account without explanation. Quds is one of the most popular Palestinian networks and has featured on-the-spot exposures of the war crimes in Gaza. De Niro denounced Apple and the organizers of the Gotham Film and Media Institute for removing criticism of former president Donald Trump and the film industry. Schumer's speech, which was warmly received by Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the mainstream press, is an incitement to more intense repression of pro-Palestinian student groups and anti-genocide protesters. The wrist-slap punishment for the death of Caes Gruesbeck shows the government is an enabler for the trillion-dollar company, which views workers as replaceable machines. Streeting became a poster boy for the Telegraph, which ran an article on him in March under the headline, "Wes Streeting: I don't support the junior doctors' strike". Within minutes of the deal being announced, BMA members on social media expressed their anger and feelings of betrayal. The one-day national strike by Telecom workers powerfully demonstrated their determination to fight the Wickremesinghe government's austerity measures. A new documentary draws a detailed portrait of the founder of the Rolling Stones without offering much insight into his life and times. Chimpanzees are aggressive toward chimps of other groups; bonobos of different groups engage in friendly and cooperative behavior toward each other. In foreign policy, Germany's Greens have long positioned themselves as the most aggressive imperialist party. The former pacifists now play the same reactionary role in domestic politics.
