 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The UAW-Biden event shined a light on the two-front war that the US ruling class is waging around the world. On Thursday, as he was leaving for a campaign event in Illinois, US President Joe Biden again reiterated his opposition to a ceasefire in Israel's genocide in Gaza. Asked, "What are the prospects of a Gaza ceasefire?" Biden replied, "None. No possibility." Today, and over the last 48 hours, protests have been held on campuses, outside weapons factories and in the streets around the world. The huge rallies in Jakarta and other cities in Indonesia are an expression of widespread anti-war and anti-imperialist sentiment. The proposed definition is deeply authoritarian, providing a pretext for the suppression of virtually any form of political opposition and eviscerating the rights to free speech and political association. Actors will have to mobilize themselves to prevent this sellout, which is already being celebrated by the companies, the media and the Biden White House, all of them inveterate enemies of the working class. Workers at four GM plants, including the large Flint Assembly plant, have so far voted to reject the tentative agreement, with many larger facilities yet to vote. Rank-and-file workers at the suburban Detroit factory will vote on Monday, November 13. This letter was sent to the World Socialist Web Site Autoworker Newsletter from a temporary part-time worker at the Stellantis Warren Truck Assembly Plant in suburban Detroit. Promoting genocide and inciting hostility to refugees under the cover of an alleged fight against anti-Semitism is not only cynical and dishonest. It is also based on a falsification of history. This report examines the key production sites of US armaments and weapons used in the IDF's genocide of the Palestinian people. Kaur rejected the offer in protest against the Biden administration's full backing of Israel's assault on Gaza. The Socialist Equality Group and the International Youth and Students for Social Equality will hold a public meeting on November 13 to oppose the genocidal war against the people of Gaza. While Murdoch-owned publications present the foulest contributions to the pro-Israeli media barrage, the most politically significant player is the ABC. Defend David McBride! Australian government proceeding with trial of Afghan war crimes whistleblower The first person facing trial over Australia's confirmed war crimes in Afghanistan is one of the individuals who exposed them. An Australian think tank report is a recipe for accusing China of coercively seeking a stranglehold over war-related industries, while going into overdrive to build the expensive plants needed in the US and Australia for amassing vast military stockpiles. Hong Kong conference of banking and finance chiefs strikes a dour and at times fearful note. As has been the case throughout the 14 months since teachers' contracts expired at the end of August 2022, the principal concern of the union bureaucracies following the votes has been to block a strike. Postal workers in Serbia continue national wildcat strike over pay and conditions in opposition to unions, defying threats of dismissal; protests over pay, pensions continue in Khuzestan province, Iran by oil contractors as economy faces collapse aggravated by US sanctions; national strike of postal workers in Kenya in defiance of court order over unpaid salaries 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.
