re: #168 Paco from Sefarad

The fact remains that “Roma” is not a a religion, and if you’re talking about European Roma, which you were, they are predominately Catholics.

I never said that Roma was a religion, though they have independent religious traditions unique to themselves.

I also take issue with your claim that “The treatment of the Roma in Europe is very similar to the treatment of the Jews”.

Well, a good way to fix that would be to improve Europe’s treatment of the Roma.

You’ll be telling us next that the Muslims are The New Jews and that the IDF behaves like the Nazis!

Since Muslims are the majority population in a lot of countries, it makes no sense to say they’re the “new Jews”. If you’re going to try to slander me, try to have the slander make sense— say Palestinians, not Muslims.

Given that I’ve repeated several times that Israel has a perfect right to exist and that it’s a democracy, I’m not sure why you’d think I’d call them Nazis. I don’t think the Nazis had a perfect right to exist.

Tell that to the Pope, and the Spanish Gypsies!

Okay. I will. The Pope isn’t doing nearly enough to speak out against what’s happening to the Roma in Italy right now.
