“…Beata constantly dismisses her daughter's paternity questions but admits that "keeping quiet breaks me more." 73 mothers was the period of disclosure," 74 especially for survivors of gang rape who could be retraumatized by the revelation. She also found that mothers who were professionally trained to disclose paternity information appropriately "reported being relieved and that the relationship between them and their children improved."…”

What does it mean to mother children born of illicit wartime relations? This article examines the detrimental effects of motherhood as a patriarchal institution shaped by nationalism/ethnocentrism and its impact on “sentimental collaborators” in WWII France, survivors of genocidal rape in Rwanda, and returning Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) “wives” in Uganda. Using a corpus of written and oral testimonies by/about mothers of children born of war (CBOW), it argues that all mothers experienced trauma in their maternal roles and that communities were often complicit in perpetuating mother–child trauma post-conflict. Understanding such collective responsibility is crucial to our capacity to help future survivors of systemic violence.

“…Ha-Tnuah formed by the Kadima ex-leader Tzipora (Cipi) Livni (Gerstenfeld 2015, p. 179) shared these positions.

Shinui built its success on the issue of state-religion relations.…”

Israel's party system has been characterized by the bipolar rivalry between the left-wing and right-wing blocks since the late 1970s. In recent years we could have seen at least two trends that seem to diverge from this model. For the last 9 years the Likud party has formed three successive governments which has made Benjamin Netanyahu the longest continuously serving prime minister in the history of Israel. Another new occurrence is the preservation of a significant representation of the center parties for four Knesset terms in the row. The aim of the paper is to verify whether Israel's party system has departed from the two-blocs bipolar model. Based on the empirical data (election results, government formation, party's political platforms) it examines whether the parties' rivalry in the years 2009-2018 differed qualitatively from the previous period. To answer this question the paper investigates three hypotheses. First-Likud has become a dominant party in Israel. Second-a dominant and stable Israeli right-wing parties' bloc has formed. Third-an enduring and relevant center sector has emerged in Israel's party system.
