 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. US and European support for Israel's genocidal onslaught on Gaza is a warning that they will not hesitate to take similar action against Iran or any other power in the region. Thousands of Israeli soldiers backed by tanks, artillery, warplanes and warships have surrounded Gaza City, the most densely populated portion of the Gaza Strip, threatening mass killing on an even greater scale than has already taken place. To try and conceal the stark reality of Israel's plans, the US has raised the possibility of an international force—possibly from the Arab states and supported by the US, the European Union and United Nations taking charge—and is now sounding out Abbas to provide a Palestinian veneer for the de facto seizure of Gaza by Israel. These remarks were delivered on November 5 by David North on his new book, Leon Trotsky and the Struggle for Socialism in the Twenty-First Century, at the Istanbul Book Fair. Although Fain claims that UAW members "are the highest authority in the union," his deeds show the opposite.

Large pro-Palestinian demonstrations took place throughout Germany at the weekend. Slogans such as "Ceasefire now" and "Free Palestine—Free Gaza!" could be heard and read everywhere, as well as "Equal Rights for Palestinians" and "Freedom of expression must also apply to Palestinians." The strong proactive response to the meeting reflects the sharp changes in mass consciousness internationally, driven by deep-seated anti-war sentiment and mass hostility to the establishment governments, parties and the corporate media. The Pine Gap base in Central Australia is being used to identify "targets" for bombardment and destruction by the criminal Israeli regime. After workers overwhelmingly voted to strike in September, the Culinary Workers Union finally set a September 10 strike deadline for 35,000 workers. Despite overwhelming strike authorization votes in two of California's largest school districts, the trade unions announced last-minute sellout agreements to prevent the strikes. "In order to end all forms of oppression you have to be anti-capitalist; you have to be anti-imperialist." Washington relied on Pacific mini-states in order to cobble together a double-digit "no" vote within the 179-member UN General Assembly. These meetings will discuss the political program and perspective of international socialism which is crucial for building the anti-war movement.

Rising interest rates and government debt pose major problems. The administration of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has approved the first migrant tent camp in the city's Brighton Park neighborhood, after running roughshod over the concerns and objections of local residents. Demonstrators, including students, workers and their families, carried placards calling for a ceasefire, peace and freedom for Palestine, and denouncing Israeli apartheid. Entire families joined the protest. Their impassioned chants and show of Palestinian flags won support from passing motorists.
