 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. As with virtually every auto industry contract over the past 45 years, the UAW bureaucracy rammed through its sellout by means of misinformation, threats and likely outright vote-rigging. After two days of ransacking Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical facility in Gaza, the US and Israel have failed to substantiate their claims that the hospital housed a massive command center housing Israeli hostages. In addition to endorsing the violent police crackdown, Democratic and Republican Party politicians smeared peaceful protesters, many whom were Jewish, as "anti-Semites" and supporters of Hamas. Behind the diplomatic tensions that emerged last week between Brazil and Israel lies the US drive to drag Latin America into its global war plans. Defending the Palestinians and defeating the criminal gang up between Israel, Britain and the US demands the mobilisation of the working class in Britain and internationally, against all the governments and political parties of the ruling class. More workers are speaking out against the process used by the United Auto Workers to obtain ratification of sellout agreements at General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford. Under conditions of a dramatic upsurge of workers' struggles in Canada and internationally—struggles that have increasingly taken the form of rank-and-file rebellions against the union bureaucracy—the Trudeau government, and its union and NDP allies are acutely aware that they must create new mechanisms to suppress the class struggle. Workers and youth around the world protesting against Israel's onslaught on Gaza must oppose plans for imperialist attack on Iran, including potentially with nuclear weapons. As Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ratchets up his rhetoric against Israel, new revelations are emerging that trade with Israel continues apace. Langton's diatribe, which essentially blamed Palestinian civilians for their plight, underscored the reactionary and pro-imperialist character of a narrow indigenous elite. "We do not create our art merely for entertainment or for profit. We create because it is a human imperative in the same way that speaking out against war crimes is a moral imperative." A critical reading of the report underscores the impossibility of combining a scientific approach to resolving climate change with the ongoing existence of capitalism. Rather than promote peace or "rule of law," Biden's discussions with the Indonesian president are aimed at pressuring Jakarta to line up more closely with Washington's war drive against China. The IYSSE calls on the mobilisation of the broadest layers of students to these walkouts. Young people in other cities and regional centres across the country should also develop actions against the genocide in Gaza. The meetings in Stuttgart and Berlin took place in the midst of worldwide mass protests and demonstrations against the murderous policies of the Netanyahu government and the active political and military support it receives from the leading NATO powers. CSU workers are divided into numerous separate unions, their contracts negotiated separately, and the "no strike" clauses enforced by the trade union officials designed to ensure a united fight that could shut down the CSU system, but it is precisely this which is needed through the building of independent rank-and-file committees. The probe, the most serious challenge faced by Adams in his two years in office, concerns possible benefits given in exchange for campaign contributions from Turkish donors. Sánchez faces rising opposition from both left and right—from workers and youth protesting the Gaza genocide and Sánchez's anti-worker policies, and from fascistic, anti-Catalan groups calling for a coup. Unless Niko Tiliopoulos's sacking is defeated, it will set a precedent for use throughout the tertiary education industry to victimise and sack educators who refuse, for critical health reasons, to adhere to the intensifying "return to campus" offensive. The Labour and trade union bureaucracy is basing its opposition to the closures on a nationalist campaign. National wildcat strike over pay and conditions by thousands of Serbian postal workers continues to spread in teeth of union opposition and dismissal threats; steel and construction workers in Iran join strikes and protests over rising poverty and authoritarian rule; nationwide strike in Nigeria over state violence to try and intimidate workers' struggles over pay 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.
