Feminism and Historical Struggle for Gender Equality

By Dr. Vladislav Sotirovic

Preface

It is important to have a short look at the history of this battle for more women’s rights. That is why I will shortly explain the ideology and social movement of Feminism, the factor which has driven women in their battle for equal chances and respect. Finally, I will come to my main topic which is the specific problems with which women have to deal concerning politics in Western democracies of (post)industrialized societies.[i] For instance, the question is: What is the representation of women in Western politics today? It would be taken a look at their representation in the Parliaments, and in which number they are able to occupy some key political positions. It will be discussed some evolutions and also the difficulties they still have to deal with because of their gender belonging. The crucial examples are coming from the European Union (the EU) and its Member States. Consequently, it is also important to try to propose some solutions to the issue of female representation in the Parliaments, for instance. Here, I will present the EU’s policy towards this issue as an example to try to answer two questions: Is a policy of active interference positive or not? What is about quota policy?

Israeli journalist Gideon Levy: "is there any hope in this? No. Will Israel learn a lesson? No“

Гидеон Леви један је од најпознатијих израелских новинара. Пише за дневни лист Haaretz из Тел Авива, из којег доносимо превод Левијевог коментара.

Иза свега овога стоји израелска ароганција – идеја да можемо чинити што год желимо, да никада нећемо платити цену и бити кажњени због тога. Несметано ћемо наставити. Ухићиват ћемо, убијати, злостављати, одузимати права, штитит ћемо досељенике док врше погроме, посећиват ћемо Јосипов гроб (Јосип син Јаковов, митска фигура из светих књига чији је наводни гроб на Западној обали, оп. прев.), одлазити на Отхниелов одар (Отхниел син Кеназов је први судац према Танаху, јеврејској Библији, за којег Јевреји верују да је покопан у Хеброну, оп. прев.) и Јошуин олтар (Јошуа је старозаветни библијски лик који је према предањима Јевреје довео у Обећану земљу оп. прев.) на палестинским територијима. И, наравно, Брдо храма (узвишење у јерусалемском Старом граду, свето место за Јевреје, муслимане и хришћане; оп. прев.) – преко 5.000 Јевреја само на Благдан сеница, старозаветни јеврејски ходочаснички празник.

‘Al-Aqsa Storm’ operation might have big geopolitical impact

By Lucas Leiroz, journalist, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, geopolitical consultant.

A major conflict is beginning in Palestine. On October 7, Hamas launched a military operation against the Israeli occupation forces. Using missiles, drones and paragliders, Palestinian soldiers managed to surprisingly attack Israeli troops and advance through occupied territory, liberating many areas. Tel Aviv responded with a declaration of war and several brutal attacks on civilian areas in Gaza, however, the Jewish State’s forces still appear unable to expel Palestinian soldiers from their occupied territory, with Hamas advancing rapidly.

Пол Крејг Робертс: Хамас и Куле близнакиње

Добијам питања о сукобу Израела и Палестине, који изгледа да скреће пажњу са сукоба Украјине и Русије. Људи се питају што би Палестинци овако напали Израел, јер то даје изговор Нетанијахуу да узме преостале дијелове Палестине и уништи појас Газе, склањајући тако са стола рјешење са двије државе. Ко може кривити Израел кад су Палестинци поубијали Израелце и узели таоце?

Драгана Трифковић: Кад се војска са Косова врати

У светлу динамичних промена на међународној сцени, које су убрзане након ескалације конфликта у Украјини, САД су се усресредиле на то да окончају преговоре у посредништву ЕУ између Београда и Приштине и присиле државно руководство Србије, које је већ у потпуности предало контролу над Косовом и Метохијом албанским сепаратистима, да призна сопствени пораз и стави коначни потпис на признање. Да ли је изводљиво да и овога пута пораз буде представљен српској јавности као победа? После специјалне операције Бањска то делује готово немогуће. Али не треба потцењивати сценаристе са Запада и њихове саучеснике у Србији, чији су потенцијали обмане и злоупотребе огромни.

Застава Србије високо је подигнута и вијори се на јарболу, многи градови су окићени тробојкама, а читаву сценографију идеално допуњавају исписани графити: „Кад се војска на Косово врати“. Да ли све ово служи за скретање пажње јавности и увесељавање српског пораза?

Some Basic Remarks on the National Identities of the People Living in Ukraine with Short Historical Background

By Dr. Vladislav Sotirovic

Ukraine is an East European territory which was originally forming a western part of the Russian Empire in the mid-17th century. That is a present-day independent state and separate ethnolinguistic nation as a typical example of Benedict Anderson’s theory-model of the “imagined community” – a self-constructed idea of the artificial ethnic and linguistic-cultural identity. Before 2014 Ukraine was a home of some 46 million inhabitants of whom, according to the official data, there were around 77 percent of those who declared themselves as the Ukrainians. Nevertheless, many Russians do not consider the Ukrainians or Belarus as “foreign” but rather as the regional branches of the Russian nationality. It is a matter of fact that, differently to the Russian case, the national identity of Belarus or the Ukrainians was never firmly fixed as it was always in the constant process of changing and evolving [on the Ukrainian self-identity construction, see: Karina V. Korostelina, Constructing the Narratives of Identity and Power: Self-Imagination in a Young Ukrainian Nation, Lanham, Maryland: Lexington Books, 2014].
