 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Floyd's murder at the hands and knees of the Minneapolis Police Department sparked mass sustained protests in the United States and internationally. But five years later the cops, supported by all capitalist parties, continue to kill record numbers of people. The Israeli military on Sunday unveiled a plan to occupy three-quarters of the Gaza Strip, pushing the entire remaining Palestinian population onto one-quarter of the enclave's territory. In a historically unprecedented display of political corruption, Donald Trump hosted a dinner at his national golf course in Virginia on Thursday at which he openly sold access to the US presidency in exchange for investments in his $Trump cryptocurrency. The promotion of "national unity" on Memorial Day is aimed at concealing the fact that, within the United States itself, a relentless war is being waged against the working class by the same corporations that profit from endless wars abroad. By claiming imperialist governments can be pressured into halting genocide, the CRT works to tie the working class to the imperialist state and block a movement that can stop the genocide. Trump's aim is to stoke fear into potential allies and opponents of US imperialism alike and demonstrate that they too will face a similar war of obliteration as Gaza if they stand in the way of Washington's bid to control the world's markets and essential resources. Miller's images from the front lines are a singular and haunting record of the war–ranging from the London Blitz to the liberation of Paris, and later the Nazi concentration camps. The state Labor administration's cuts to education and its mass sacking of public sector workers are warnings of what the federal Labor government will seek to impose more broadly. The IAM announced a deal at 1 am last Friday and scheduled a vote for Tuesday, while giving workers no information. Any contract introduced in such a fashion can only be a miserable sellout. The latest spate of horrific industrial accidents can only be fought independently of politicians, corporations and trade union bureaucrats. The aim must be to reveal the causes of accidents in detail and take joint action to remedy abuses! The right-wing government aims to double military spending while cutting public healthcare, driving down wages, reducing workers' retirement savings and kicking teenagers off welfare. Duisburg Regional Court has acquitted one of the co-founders of the now banned "Palestine Solidarity Duisburg," Leon Wystrychowski, of the charge of "condoning criminal offences" by Hamas. 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 Bailey has decided to fight and set the record straight. This is an entirely welcome and healthy development, a contribution to the cleansing of the cultural atmosphere.
