Overall, I don't think that anti-Semitism is a problem, at least in most of America and in Europe (despite what the Christian or Jewish zealots want you to believe) The rise of neo-conservatism meant, essentially, with respect to American middle-east policy that American interests were essentially Israeli interests. And more recently, the idea has been pushed in America that an anti-Semite is actually anti-American.
In Europe, I know it's now against the law to "undermine" the Holocaust.
In any case, many Jews in America and Europe are at least nominally integrated, when compared with other Semites. Actually, it is easy for Jews to get integrated into European/American societies because they're a bit more racially similar (e.g. the Ashkenasim), and also because esp. in America, some Christians are taught to respect Jewry as forbearers of religion. Americans in particular are accepting of Jews because they always wanted to be considered "protectors of human rights" or something alike. That's a particular kind of anarchism becomes obviously when a e.g. racially mixed American tells others that he doesn't care about gay/feminist propaganda in the public.
