Glad to hear your response Pepe. I think I could also say to you, cordially, by the way - that you could engage with me in a dialogue without 'making assumptions', and resorting to calling me /my thinking and response, 'immature, childish, emotional etc...slap bang in the public domain of Medium comments.

I regard doing that as taking a power-over position, which males in patriarchal societies are conditioned to do, even when the woman they are addressing is older than them.

You could just as well have addressed your concerns to me directly, via my email, without calling into question in the public domain, my 'maturity'. Am I saddened by you doing that? Not really.

Dialogue is good, under whatever surprising conditions!

I believe calling Israel,, 'IsraHell' is valuable on several counts" but I don't ahve time to go into it all, right this minute.

But I will say, (irst and foremost, to paraphrase the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre writing in the preface to Frantz Fanon's book, 'The Wretched of the Earth', ) though I began the article with reference to you, I was not addressing myself to you, but others like myself, marginalised in the Bantustans of Europe,

The article is about observing patterns of thought and behaviour in Whyte supremacist thinking from past centuries to the present day, to show the processes by which the world has been/is shaped to reflect Anglo-European's narcissistic psychopathy as a collective, vis a vis the rest of humanity - so please don't think I am referring to you per se.
