 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. In what was simultaneously a calculated provocation and an act of extreme recklessness, Israel assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas' political wing, in Iran's capital early Wednesday morning. The World Health Organization has joined the Gaza Health Ministry in raising the alarm over an impending polio outbreak. The ferocious state-driven attacks on the protesters further demonstrate the American ruling class's descent into open embrace for genocide and imperialist war as their policies of choice. In a deranged appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, Trump attempted to appeal to upper middle class African Americans by stirring up hatred of immigrants. Chief responsibility for this week's far-right mobilisations rests with the Labour Party. The Starmer government's authoritarian "country first, party second" manifesto, with its pledge to "secure the borders" through mass deportations of asylum seekers, is giving the far-right its head. The meeting in Tokyo was part of a broader push against China by the US, including the announcement of military aid to the Philippines and a meeting of AUKUS naval chiefs in Australia. Hopes that trade war between the US and China would lead companies to pour resources into Mexico's economy are rapidly dissipating. On Wednesday, Boeing announced that Robert K. "Kelly" Ortberg would be replacing David Calhoun as CEO amid a deepening financial crisis, a string of safety failures on jets made by the airline manufacturer and a strike vote by 33,000 workers. The news of the $100 million bonanza can only provoke a certain degree of embarrassment and regret. As part of its fight to mobilize postal workers independently of the union bureaucracy, the World Socialist Web Site has sharply criticized "militant" CUPW bureaucrats who have postured as defenders of workers' interests. A key experience in this regard was the presidency of Mike Palecek. Wall Street expressed its support for the move with significant increases in the major indexes. The government is ready to force hundreds of thousands of recipients of "Citizens Income" welfare payments into low-wage jobs.
