Sometimes when I think about the reality, that people actually believe these disturbing stories designed to turn demonise Jewish people... it gets me down. It's even worse when I witness people, young children too, being taught to hate. The way I deal with it is four fold: 1) Try to laugh it off. 2) Stay informed and politically active. 3) Frequently challenge these theories, especially to people who probably want me dead simply because I am Jewish. 4) Lead by example - simply by being the best person I can and meet lots of people (which I like to do anyway) so that people get to see that its all crap. Such a strange world we live in. Nobody could ever claim it is boring though. Best wishes.
