Yay for the making sense!
As for the solidarity, this is going to sound a bit blunt, but the reason you don’t hear about is because nobody is listening. Jews and Roma are the two great outcast groups, both of us being diasporic populations that kept getting tossed out of whatever lands we found temporary refuge in (although we may be witnessing the creation of a third such group in the form of the Syrian refugees; only time will tell there), and we only have each other for support.
