“I will always ensure that Israel has the ability to defend itself,” said Harris, as Israel killed 50 more innocent Palestinians. All, like the uncommitted movement, who appeal to the Democrats to end the genocide are wasting their energy. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/08/23/ihqy-a23.html

In their campaign to prevent any challenge to the two major capitalist parties, the Democrats have stricken Jill Stein, Cornel West, and RFK Jr. from the ballot in North Carolina. It’s their latest attack on democratic rights. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/07/02/dvrd-j02.html

When the lead singer of the Four Tops sought treatment for chest pain, he was straitjacketed and verbally abused. He never received the treatment he sought. This scandalous incident underscores the inhumanity of for-profit healthcare. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/06/15/efcm-j15.html

The US has angrily denounced the International Criminal Court investigation of the Israeli officials who are responsible for the genocide. But it had no objection to the ICC’s investigation of Putin over the war in Ukraine. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/04/30/gmqx-a30.html

If the new UN ceasefire resolution had any teeth, then the US would have vetoed it. But the White House said that the resolution has “no impact at all on Israel and Israel’s ability to continue to go after Hamas.” https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/03/26/qrmj-m26.html

Biden’s claim that a ceasefire is in sight is simply false. Netanyahu himself denied it. Biden is trying to shore up his collapsing support with a sop to opponents of the genocide. The pseudo-left is propping up Biden as well. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/02/27/pdbk-f27.html

Don’t buy the idea that voting “uncommitted” in the Michigan primary will suddenly convince Biden to tack left. This is a ruse that the pseudo-left is using to try to stop the Democrats’ huge loss of support. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/02/22/xobv-f22.html

Yesterday, Biden presented himself as the defender of democracy. Neither he nor any other Democrat did anything to prevent the January 6 coup attempt, which was prepared in broad daylight for months in advance. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/01/06/nmcu-j06.html

The wealth of today's financial and corporate elite is even greater than that of the French aristocracy in 1789. Like the feudal order, capitalism is obsolete. The current strikes must become a conscious movement for socialism. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/07/15/ueah-j15.html

After forcing Palestinians to flee northern Gaza, Israel has now warned them to leave southern Gaza. This ethnic cleansing is the true face of Zionism. It demonstrates the reactionary nature of all forms of nationalism. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/11/18/svca-n18.html

The Big Three “stand-up strike” and lousy tentative agreements have demolished Fain’s pretensions to militancy. If auto workers are to defeat these rotten deals and wage a real fight, then they must start organizing now. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/10/31/auto-o31.html

The US has used the uprising in Gaza to advance its preparation for war with Iran. We are in the opening stages of World War III. The mass opposition to war must join with the growing strike movement to end the war. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/10/16/zjum-o16.html

The actors' decision to join the writers on strike has momentarily stunned the media and the unions. The actors and writers must reach out to other workers for support and transform the strike into a fight for socialism. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/07/15/jslr-j15.html

The Pentagon has stated that China's alleged "spy balloon" was no such thing. The US government and its media retainers deliberately used it to promote fear and hatred toward China, which is the main economic rival of the US. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/07/04/ofct-j04.html

Residents of East Palestine demanded answers at a town hall meeting that Norfolk Southern refused to attend. Residents are rightly comparing their situation to that of Flint, MI, where officials downplayed extensive water contamination. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/02/16/ttjm-f16.html

Would China use a clumsy, outmoded balloon to spy on US missile sites? This ludicrous claim is part of a campaign to stoke Sinophobia and prepare the public for a war against the main economic rival of US imperialism. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/02/04/ship-f04.html

As it loses disaffected members, the DSA keeps promoting itself falsely as a leftist alternative to the Democrats. All the while, its leadership insists that the organization cannot break from this party of Wall Street, but must support it. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/01/31/gmlh-j31.html

1) I'm heartbroken to hear of the death of one of rock's best guitarists: Jeff Beck. He brought tremendous color and variety to the Yardbirds' music before establishing a solo career. His style was unmistakable and always exciting. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/11/entertainment/jeff-beck-death/index.html

The World Socialist Web Site will soon publish a full analysis of the January 6th Committee’s final report. But it is already clear that the committee blames the whole coup attempt on Trump, shielding his coconspirators from accountability. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/12/29/stzt-d29.html

The movie “Tár” is a serious effort that grapples with the contemporary world of orchestral music, the relationship between the artist and his or her work, and the #MeToo campaign. Yet the story, strangely, is not very moving. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/12/29/gmgd-d29.html
