 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Thursday's massacre of 112 starving Palestinians by the fascistic Netanyahu regime is part of a systematic campaign to kill as many Gazans as possible and drive the rest from their land. After months of campaigning for president on the basis that Trump represented a mortal threat to democracy, in Brownsville, Texas on Friday, Biden pleaded with the aspiring dictator to "join" him in supporting fascistic anti-immigrant legislation that greatly expands the border police and grants the president authority to "shut down" ports of entry. Because some Berlinale laureates and jurors had the courage to call things by their right names instead of being mouthpieces of the powers that be, they are treated like criminals. The announcement is a sign of the depth of opposition among Indian workers to Israel's massacring of tens of thousands of defenceless Palestinians with US-supplied weapons and Washington's full-throated political support. Republican-controlled state governments in Florida and Texas adopted the laws after Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube blocked President Trump for inciting the January 6, 2021 attack on Congress. The death sentence of Ivan Cantu was carried out in Texas despite compelling evidence of his innocence, while in Idaho, the planned lethal injection of Thomas Creech was called off after the prison team tasked with killing him failed to insert an IV line to deliver the deadly chemicals. While rhetorically comparing the genocide of the Palestinians to Hitler's extermination of the Jews, Lula covers up the fundamental forces behind the slaughter in Gaza. New research challenges key findings of the Christchurch terror attack inquiry and reveals failures by police and security agencies to track and investigate far-right on-line activity. The 0.1 percentage point difference between wage growth and inflation is negligible—less than $2 a week for most workers—and does nothing to reverse years of real wage cuts. The so-called "concerted strikes" being organised by service sector union Verdi are in reality fragmenting the industrial action. What is necessary is the building of independent rank-and-file action committees that take the struggle into their own hands. Bill 48, presented by the NDP at a press conference last November, will ensure that workers on ride-hailing and food delivery apps continue to earn well below the minimum wage, have no benefits, and are denied most rights available to workers employed in other sectors. The deal was reached in a matter of hours just a day before the contract for 5,000 brewery workers expired. A machine maintenance worker was killed on the job at the Stellantis STLAB plant in Pratola Serra, Italy. Workers were patronizingly told by management and the rural carriers' union to be patient during the initial implementation of RRECS. But after two subsequent route evaluations and massive numbers of grievances filed by workers, experiences confirm that the purpose of RRECS was to slash wages all along. The far-right outfit Accuracy in Media sent a truck with the image of Math teacher Mohammad Jehad Ahmad to his school. The raging flames, fueled by high winds and unseasonably hot and dry weather, scorched through substantial stretches of small towns and farming communities with surprising speed. A WSWS reporting team spoke with residents from working-class suburbs in the Dunkley electorate, providing an insight into the social and political crisis across Australia. The members of the affluent middle class are inevitably driven into battle against one other, along gender, racial and many other lines. Workers across Italy join "Strike for Palestine," as police brutally attack protesting students; indefinite public sector pay strike in Lebanon as inflation rages at over 177 percent; public sector national strike in Nigeria against low wages and high prices following big demonstrations in major cities Lies claiming widespread intimidation and violent intent are used to justify proposals to restrict and ban protests, as part of an overall clamp down on fundamental democratic rights. The children were peacefully expressing their democratic right to protest the US-backed Israeli genocide.
