Antisemitism simply is not a significant threat in our society. It used to be, but it isn't anymore, because our society has changed. There was a time fairly recently when I would've been discriminated against for being divorced from the father of my children. This never happens to me in our present day, because we no longer have the kind of puritanical society where that sort of discrimination occurs. Some fringe religious kooks on the internet might tell me divorce is a sin, but they have no institutional support and normal people think they're ridiculous.
In exactly the same way, the archaic superstitions and prejudices which drove the persecution of Jewish people in previous generations simply do not exist anymore. What you see labeled as "antisemitism" today is 99% just people criticizing Israel or fighting back against the oppressive abuses of a genocidal apartheid state, with the remaining 1% being expressions of medieval prejudices against Jewish people from fringe assholes with no political power.
