 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Less than two months ago, Biden launched his reelection campaign with the claim that democracy could be defended only by electing him and defeating the coup leader Trump. Now he is publicly appealing to the fascistic Republican front runner to join him in destroying the rights of immigrants. At a Thursday evening emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, the US voted to block a draft statement that noted "deep concern" at the deaths "due to opening fire from Israel." According to Palestinian UN ambassador Riyad Mansour, 14 of the Security Council's 15 members were prepared to back the statement. On Thursday, the Socialist Equality Party (US) presidential campaign launched its ballot access drive in Michigan, sending campaign teams to Wayne State University in Detroit and the Warren Truck Assembly Plant in nearby Warren. Politics in Britain is being upended by the imperialist-backed genocide in Gaza and the radicalisation of millions of people, particularly young workers and students. An anti-imperialist, anti-war opposition to the Labour and Tory parties is building and seeking a political solution. Far-UVC techology can protect the population from SARS-CoV-2 and many other airborne pathogens. The protests are directed against the German government, its weapons' deliveries to Israel and the lying propaganda that those opposing the genocide in Gaza are "antisemitic." "The struggle for Palestinian liberation is a universal struggle against imperialism and oppression. Injustice affects us all, when one group is oppressed, it undermines the rights and freedoms of everyone."—Tahnee, acute care and mental health nurse. The February gathering should be taken as a warning by workers across North America that the unions are colluding with the highest levels of the state to suppress the class struggle and support the transition to a "war economy." Federal District Judge David Ezra issued a ruling on Thursday that imposed a preliminary injunction on the grounds that a law in Texas that empowers state law enforcement and courts to arrest and deport migrants crossing the southern border is "patently unconstitutional." Backed by the Albanese Labor government, ASIO chief Mike Burgess this week ratcheted up accusations directed against Russia and China, but again provided no evidence. Without explicitly naming China, Marcos launched into a thinly-veiled denunciation of Beijing while calling for stronger military ties between the two American allies against China. Washington's claims that the war games are necessary for regional stability ring hollow as the US works to provoke a war with China and surrounds the latter with military allies and strategic partners. In Italy, Stellantis has begun its job-cutting campaign by eliminating those workers who are more militant. India: Hospital cleaners protest in Tamil Nadu; Pakistan: Water utility workers strike over unpaid wages; Thousands of Sri Lankan non-academic university workers strike for higher allowance; Australia: New South Wales public hospital workers protest end of free parking. The principles for the world socialist movement elaborated by Marx and Engels and published in their 1848 ground-breaking work retain all power and validity. It represents a throwing up of the hands in the face of the need to examine and understand the Holocaust, its causes and place in 20th century history. Global finance capital has chosen Argentina as a key battleground and testing site to spearhead a dramatic escalation of the war against the working class internationally. Louis DeJoy bragged that USPS reduced seasonal hires during last year's holidays by 75 percent, while downplaying massive delays caused by the shrinking of the post office's network. The latest joint statement by the CWU and Royal mail is full of slippery formulations meant to disguise job destruction and present an "improved situation" for displaced mail centre workers.
