What is happening in America outside of—and propelling—the frenzy within the political superstructure? Beneath the surface, the basic class contradictions of what Leon Trotsky called the “death agony of capitalism” are manifesting themselves.

Before Israel assassinated her, journalist Amal Khalil revealed: “I received death threats on my phone from Mossad, from the Israelis.” “They threatened to kill me.” “They told me they would sever my head from my shoulders if I didn’t leave South Lebanon.”

BREAKING: Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was just found under the rubble in Al-Tiri, South Lebanon. Israel hunted her down, and dropped bombs on the house where she had taken refuge — assassinating her. This was deliberate.

What is #Fascism? A video thread with @DavidNorthWSWS "There is a growing movement throughout the world of the working class against conditions that exist. The ruling elites see this. They know where this is going. Their response to this threat is to move further to the right."

... [British Labour leader] Starmer in opposition promised a “reset” with the major European powers, after Britain’s fractious and economically catastrophic exit from the European Union—as demanded not just by dominant sections of British capital but also by the Biden administration, which wanted a restoration of the UK’s role as a reliable voice for Washington within the bloc. But by the time Labour came to office, Donald Trump occupied the White House, forcing Starmer to try to agree a vital pro-Brexit trade deal with a US government that was openly hostile to the EU. A trade deal was eventually reached, but entirely on Trump’s terms—with Britain hit a little less hard by tariffs than other European powers. The second major bone of contention was military spending, with Starmer posturing, ever more unsuccessfully, as the European power most receptive to Trump’s demands for 5 percent of GDP spending by NATO powers. The Iran war has brought US-UK and US-European tensions to fever pitch, with Trump repeatedly berating Starmer and other European leaders for placing face-saving restrictions on US flights and for not sending ships to the Strait of Hormuz. Starmer was “no Winston Churchill”, Trump declared, and the Royal Navy’s warships were “toys”, fronted by “two old broken-down aircraft carriers”. Within hours of Trump announcing a ceasefire in the US war against Iran, Starmer announced a visit to the Middle East “to meet leaders of countries who have been in the front line and will set out his full support for the newly agreed ceasefire”. Talks would centre “on ensuring the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remains permanent, with the United Kingdom continuing to lead international efforts.” ...

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon. Every. Single. One. All journalists. Targeted and assassinated intentionally. For reporting the truth from the frontlines.

Trump’s extension of the ceasefire should not lull anyone into complacency. The failure to achieve its aims in Iran quickly has thrown the US into crisis. Trump will use the ceasefire to prepare even more violent and reckless attacks. #Irán #IranWar‌ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
