 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The key lesson that must be drawn following the brutal slaughter of at least 45 displaced civilians is that appeals to the powers that be, whether to imperialist governments, the UN, or international courts, to "stop the genocide" will fall on deaf ears. The social force that must be mobilised is the international working class. Speakers emphasised that the fight against Israel's genocide, imperialist war and for the freedom of Assange must be based on the independent mobilisation of the working class against capitalism. The growing movement against war pits rank-and-file workers against both pro-war parties and the union bureaucracy, which functions as an extension of the White House and the Democrats.

Corbyn's response to his removal sums up his deep opposition to any political challenge to Labour as he continues his life's mission of subordinating the working class to this pro-imperialist party. Bill C-70, tabled in Parliament earlier this month, would create a registry of so-called "foreign agents," expand the powers of CSIS to spy on Canadians, and establish a new anti-sabotage law. The SGP is the only party to place the fight against war and genocide at the centre of its campaign in the European elections. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced the construction of extensive military fortifications along the country's border with Belarus. The UNATUA leadership is the main obstacle to a political struggle by non-academic staff to defeat government repression, win a decent wage increase and oppose the cuts to public education. The devastating blasts, occurring 13 hours apart, left three workers injured and necessitated an emergency evacuation of more than 50,000 residents from the surrounding area. Public school teachers and healthcare workers in Argentina joined protests against government austerity while outside municipal workers in London, Ontario handed their union a surprise contract rejection. Tornadoes generated by severe weather systems killed 23 people across five states on Saturday evening as category EF-2 and EF-3 twisters touched down and brought destruction to everything in their path. This column profiles important historical events which took place during this week, 25 years ago, 50 years ago, 75 years ago and 100 years ago. The petition to remove Srettha Thavisin as prime minister at the behest of sections of the military exposes the fraud of Thailand's "return to democracy."
