 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Far more significant than the semi-senility of Biden is the political madness expressed in his policies and his statements, a madness shared by the entire ruling class political establishment. The Israeli army dropped leaflets on Wednesday telling residents of Gaza City to leave through "safe routes" and then proceeded to shell Palestinians in their homes. While shedding crocodile tears over the deaths of two people and injury of 16 others in Kiev, the cynical hypocrites occupying government offices and media editorial boards in the imperialist centres have said virtually nothing about The Lancet's estimate that Israel has killed 186,000 people. Ukraine is now the second largest debtor to the IMF after Egypt. Its agreements entail mass privatizations and further reductions in already minimal social spending. Labour committed to more tightly policing the UK borders in its manifesto, along with setting up a Returns and Enforcement Unit to swiftly deport anyone deemed a "failed" asylum seeker. Washington is seeking to create a bottleneck for hungry and desperate migrant workers escaping from the impact of imperialist oppression and war in dozens of countries. Boeing's $243 million fine is barely a slap on the wrist for the aerospace giant and an insult to the families of the 346 men, women and children who died after the company knowingly put the faulty 737 MAX 8 into service. At least 33 people have tragically died since the beginning of July in California and Oregon as some 161 million people remain under heat advisory warnings. Using a court injunction and police violence, authorities in Ontario and Quebec succeeded in shutting down the student encampments at University of Toronto and McGill University, without any of their demands being met. What has been reported makes clear that Hash Tayeh is being targeted for political speech condemning Israeli war crimes and for organising mass protests against them. Workers already face precarious employment and low wages as the capitalist class seeks to extract greater profits. The two Memorandums of Agreement were released July 10 on IATSE websites, only four days before entertainment workers were scheduled to begin voting on the deals. Almost every four days a construction worker dies in Germany. After a decline in the number of industrial accidents, with the coronavirus pandemic and the introduction of pro-war policies, indications are that this trend is reversing. Private credit institutions in Europe hold more financial assets than banks and other traditional sources of finance. The union apparatus worked to intimidate teachers and school workers who were outraged by the deal, threatening an even worse outcome through government-mandated arbitration if it was voted down. "Germany is not interested in human lives, but in power, gas and oil," explained one young demonstrator. South Korean metal workers strike for new labour law; India: 10,000 Tamil Nadu power distribution workers protest privatisation; Bangladesh university workers' strike in second week; Australia: Serco workers strike at naval bases. Unite calls off south Wales steelworkers strike, partnering with Labour government and Tata Steel UK Action had been planned against Tata Steel UK's plans to cut 2,800 jobs at the plants in Port Talbot and Llanwern, South Wales, announced last September.
