 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Workers must organize a broad campaign involving mass actions, beginning with pickets and protests and culminating in a general strike. While the Democratic nominee refused to answer several questions, Harris repeatedly pledged to "work across the aisle" with the Republicans to wage war on the working class domestically and internationally. This massacre is part of a systematic campaign, now 20 days old, to displace hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who remain in northern Gaza through mass killing, starvation, and the total destruction of social services and infrastructure. The young artist is among the latest victims of the Zionist state's campaign to not only exterminate the Palestinian people, but also eradicate its culture. The SEP has been targeted because it has a long and courageous history of fighting to unite workers—Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim—against the Sri Lankan capitalist elite and on the basis of a socialist program. We urge all workers across the world, regardless of industry, to attend and discuss how they can build a common fight in defense of the Boeing strike. "To our understanding, hourly wages only account for 5 percent of Boeing's overhead … which is insulting because the planes would not be built without labor, so 5 percent investment supports 95 percent of the company?" Workers at Eaton Aerospace, on strike for more than four weeks, have defeated a third attempt by the UAW leadership to foce through a sellout agreement. The Kazan summit revealed the underlying economic and geopolitical crisis of world capitalism, which is rapidly plunging into a global war. While the Turkish ruling elites wanted to strengthen their hands and tighten their ranks in the face of the escalation of the war in the Middle East by their allies, the US and Israel--with whom they want to avoid a confrontation—it was unclear how the PKK leadership based in Iraq's Qandil Mountain would react to Ankara's initiative. Whether the union apparatus is led by a career bureaucrat or a left-talking, purported "militant" like Mike Palecek, it has connived with management and surrendered to back-to-work laws. The tiny European state of Moldova is increasingly being drawn into the maelstrom of NATO's war against Russia, with US-allied forces in the country claiming victory in a vote over ascension to the EU. The adoption of the so-called "migration pact" in April has prompted the European Union and leading EU states to escalate their anti-refugee and anti-migrant policies and attack the democratic rights of workers across the board. The deal includes below inflation pay rises and increased healthcare premiums and deductibles, effectively eliminating any real gains. The meetings included lively political discussion on the IYSSE's perspective of building a global anti-war movement in the working class against Israel's assault against the people of Palestine and Lebanon, and broader eruption of imperialist war. The Council of Trade Unions' claims to be fighting back against austerity are a sham. The union bureaucracy is enforcing mass redundancies and seeking to divide and demobilise the working class. Last week a so-called Hospital Reform program was adopted in the Bundestag. The measure will facilitate the widespread closure of clinics and significantly worsen the provision of general healthcare. Excluded from the muted coverage of the crash is any reference to the job cutting offensive Network Rail mounted against its own workforce under the guise of "modernising maintenance". Teachers' and school cleaners' strikes in Greece joined by ferry and port workers to protest pay and conditions; protests continue across Iran by students, nurses, oil workers and retirees against collapsing living standards as NATO escalates war preparations; sacked workers in eThekwini, South Africa used as cheap labour on public works scheme picket for permanent jobs About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
