Gypsies in Italy don't have a very good reputation. Many Italians think that they just steal instead of working.
I must say I met both sides among the gypsies: honest people who sometimes are quite creative but also drug dealers.
Studying their culture I found out that they originate form India. They apparently have still traditions which are rooted in Hinduism.

So I wonder, what is your opinion of the gypsies?

Where there some interactions between Jews and gypsies during history?

King regards

Dear Chaim,
is there anybody in the entire world that is uglier than Henry Waxman? Perhaps Arafat (shem reshayim yirkav!) would have given him a run for his money before HaShem sent him to his new fiery home, Gehenom. It is nauseating that Waxman is constantly touting himself as a "Jewish politician". I read an interview where Waxman had the gall to claim his political decisions were influenced by his desire for "tikkun olam". What a joke. What can we do about pieces of drek such as Henry Waxman?
regards,
Gimatria

Hello brother Chaim,

Hope you had a nice week.  I can not believe the constant yammering over some dead pedo pervert in California, who has ruined lives of children.  For the past 2 weeks this is all anyone is talking about, including Fox News.  In the week of the great moment when this vermin was stuffed in a box, 7 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan were killed and zero or nearly no coverage at all.  Cause everyone had their obsession over Michael Jackson the rotting worm food.  Has people forgotten what this pig has done?  His whole family is a family of nut cases, but this is the only story they bother to mention.  Not that Obama has drained us in over 1.8 trillion dollars in over the last 6 months.  Not that we became the laughing stock with the animal in the White House, but for some sicko dead rotting piece of sewage.  I know this is their way of distracting the simple minded Americans and there are a lot of simple minded, look what they voted for?  I can not believe this country has been reduced to this.  Until now they still talk about him, I didn't see this much overwhelming when Reagan died. So is Michael Jerkson a step above one of the best presidents this country has ever had?

Secularbeliever:
Chaim, I read with disgust the story of the widow and young children of a war hero being scheduled for expulsion from the town of Eli in the Shomron.  Her husband fell on a grenade during the second Lebanon War saving his fellow soldiers.  Events like this raise many disturbing questions.

Should nationalist Jews even fight wars like the 2nd Lebanon War?  Olmert bragged at the time that victory there would lead to more expulsions.  Hearing that I even had trouble hoping for an Israeli victory, although obviously I did not want to see more Jewish soldiers get killed or captured.  There is even a small part of me that feels that victory in the War on Terror for the west will probably lead to a concerted push for more expulsions of Jews from Eretz Yisrael and a PLO/Hamas state that would pose an existential danger to Israel.  On the other hand, I have met many soldiers in the US Army and feel nothing but admiration and respect for them and the work they are doing.  I feel physically ill when I hear one of them has been killed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

How do you reconcile these kinds of conflicting feelings?
