The election debacle and the fight against dictatorship
 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Countless millions in the United States and throughout the world are stunned by the outcome of the election, which was made possible by the policies of the Democratic Party. But the shock is turning into disgust as they witness the Democrats' craven surrender to Trump. On Friday, the United Nations' Human Rights Office published a report showing that nearly 70 percent of verified deaths in Gaza are of women and children, adding further evidence that Israel is waging a war of extermination in Gaza. Four days after the US elections, fascist President-Elect Donald Trump's Republican Party is nearing control of all levers of federal governmental power. While NATO governments are outraged that five Israeli football hooligans were briefly taken to hospital, they support the mass murder of defenseless Palestinian civilians in Gaza. The resolution aims to defend Israel's genocide against the Palestinians and to criminalise any criticism of it under the false accusation of "antisemitism." The University of Michigan has filed a complaint against the campus chapter of the Students for Justice in Palestine, threatening to suspend the organization for two to four years. The IYSSE denounces this attack on the campus organization and the democratic rights of all students and faculty, and demands that the complaint be rescinded. Last Friday, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) issued an immediate "interim" suspension of graduate student Prahlad Iyengar for penning an article titled "On Pacifism" in an MIT student magazine Written Revolution opposing Israel's genocide against the people of Gaza. The publication itself has been banned from campus. The meeting will enable postal workers to voice their concerns and demands, and discuss the PWRFC's strategy to counter the union bureaucrats conniving with Canada Post management to impose yet another concessions-filled contract on us. The real focus of the Biden administration has always been to ensure "Boeing's future as a critical part of America's aerospace sector," by which Biden means the corporation's role as the chief US exporter and major defense contractor. Labor's primary preoccupation is the continuation of the AUKUS pact and the aggressive US-led confrontation with China that threatens a catastrophic war. The move is wholly inadequate in dealing with the mounting cost-of-living crisis and is a cynical attempt to garner support as a federal election looms. Indian Prime Minister Modi and Sri Lankan President Dissanayake were quick to publicly hail Trump's victory. The rich are satisfied with life, the aspiring petty bourgeois worries about his or her property and status, the workers and rural poor are overworked and angry. The National Health and Medical Research Council is aiming to play down the major health risks posed by the presence of PFAS in the drinking water supply. South Korea: Strike at Hyundai Transys enters fourth week; Bangladesh: Tea gardens workers still on strike; Australia: Qube Port workers voting to extend action; Nurses and midwives walk out at Healthscope's Northern Beaches Hospital With the election of US President Donald Trump, a chorus is growing that all delays to raising military spending must end and that it is hiked higher than presently planned.
