 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The killing of Sinwar prompted statements of unrestrained support for the Netanyahu government by the leaders of the United States, France, Germany and the UK, who used the occasion to openly endorse the Israeli government's campaign of extermination and ethnic cleansing against a population of 2.2 million people. Biden's summit with unpopular German, British and French leaders was overshadowed by the disasters caused by their wars and their fear of a possible second Trump presidency. The trauma surgeon, who worked as a volunteer in a Gaza hospital, has tried to mobilize opposition from healthcare workers to the Israeli-US genocide. The raid is another act of blatant political harassment by the British state, aimed at intimidating a prominent reporter and opponent of Israel's oppression of the Palestinians. The film, buoyed by an excellent cast, including an exceptional performance from Jeremy Strong as right-wing lawyer and Trump mentor Roy Cohn, highlights the continuity between 1950s McCarthyism and today's emerging fascist movement led by Cohn's protégé. That the IAM apparatus even brought this contract to a vote is a clear indication that the bureaucracy never had any intention of waging a serious strike. A contract at Norfolk Southern was ratified on low turnout, showing none of the recent rail contracts have any significant support among the rank and file. Workers took to the streets in Rome, Italy, for industrial action in opposition to Stellantis' plans to cut more jobs and move production to other countries. We call on you to vote for the rank-and-file "Action Committee for Transport Workers" slate in the upcoming staff council elections in mid-November at Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG). We are running in these elections to build new fighting structures that will enable us transport workers to intervene directly in workplace disputes. This development marks another intensification of the Labor government's transformation of northern Australia into a strategic platform for US wars, both in the Middle East and against China. Entirely committed to implementing IMF austerity, the JVP/NPP government wants a "strong" majority to strengthen its hand against the mass working class opposition it knows it will soon face. The growing attacks on public education in Brazil and internationally are part of a shift by the world's ruling elite towards dictatorship at home and war abroad. Educators in East Orange, New Jersey, called in sick to work on Thursday and Friday, after the city's school board announced that nearly 10 percent of education workers in the district would be laid off in December. Wong was to give a speech at the University of Tasmania on international relations and policy. Her speech was interrupted by protesters on about a dozen occasions. The SEIU-UHW is attempting to limit the ULP strike to non-wage demands, while keeping workers on the job without a contract despite unionizing since 2022. FIRST Union leader Dennis Maga's embrace of NZ First, which is notorious for its racist and xenophobic demagogy, flows from the right-wing and anti-working class character of the union bureaucracy and reinforces the urgent need for new workers' organisations. More than 10,000 Bangladeshi garment workers remain on strike over months of unpaid wages. The intervention of a federal mediator points to pressure from the White House to shut down the strike against Eaton, a supplier of critical aircraft components. The mayors made no demand that the root causes of the crisis be identified and dealt with, since to do so would implicate the entire political establishment for imposing decades of austerity. Whatever Petrov and Boshirov's purpose in Salisbury, the fact remains that the "assassination gone wrong" story is not plausible on the available evidence, and is in many places ludicrous.
