 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The most important question raised by the Argentine elections is why mass outrage over conditions imposed by capitalism led to the election of the profit system's most extreme right-wing defenders. There has been no shift in Israel's aim of mass murder and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, prior to its permanent annexation. The healthcare system in northern Gaza is near complete collapse as the humanitarian crisis continues to escalate. Sunak's murderous declaration was exposed this week in testimony at the UK COVID Inquiry given by former chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance. The study's authors conjecture that ongoing inhibition of the mitochondria after infection might also play a role in the symptoms of Long COVID, especially general fatigue and malaise. The national "No to Wars" demonstration taking place in Berlin on Saturday is a cynical attempt to push the growing opposition to the NATO war in Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza into a dead end. The Berlin Senate (State Executive) wants to illegally shut down the Oyoun cultural centre by the end of the year because it has provided meeting space for Jewish Voices for Peace and socialists opposing war. Protests against Wilders broke out in Utrecht and Amsterdam after an election campaign dominated by vicious appeals to anti-immigrant hatred by all of the major parties. After more than five weeks of talks, the National Party has formed an unstable coalition with far-right parties, which will intensify the assault on the working class and ramp up war preparations. Voting on the contract began prior to the union's membership having a chance to examine its contents. SAG-AFTRA declared the strike "over" before the ratification process began. The agreement betrays actors' interests all along the line and should be rejected. A young temp worker at Mack Assembly in Detroit speaks about the 2023 contract and the continuing attack on temp workers. The venomous attacks on students because of their opposition to war crimes underscores the far right-wing character of the Australian political and media establishment's line-up behind the Gaza genocide. "Clearly there is a war occurring, people are dying, and we have to do something. We can't just stand back." The court challenge underscores the readiness of the ruling political establishment to override even the extremely limited protections of legal and democratic rights in the 1901 Constitution. "This meeting of educators condemns the genocide being perpetrated against the Palestinian people by the Zionist State of Israel and its imperialist backers the US and others." The Colombo meeting is a part of a series of meetings in Sri Lanka, as well as around the world by the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI), to build an international anti-war movement of the working class based on socialist policies. The ruling class is responding to the pandemic by covering up the ongoing crisis while preparing escalating attacks on the public health system as part of a wider assault on the working class. The event is part of a global campaign by the sections and sympathizing groups of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) against Israel's imperialist-backed genocidal war and to commemorate the centenary of the founding of the Left Opposition led by Leon Trotsky in 1923. Minibus drivers stop work across the Philippines; Pakistani nurses strike over four months of unpaid wages; Sri Lankan workers oppose privatisation; Australian paramedics demand 20 percent pay rise.
