Recall that antisemitism has existed for a long time. In the 1930s who had quotas of how many could go to the ivy league schools, The KKK in the 1920s was antisemitic also. Note that many of the attacks are on the non assimilated jewish population i.e. hassidic types. American culture has in general operated on the principal stated by the Borg in Star Trek Next Generation, "resistance is futile you will be assimilated" The 19th century way of handling this was to build a distinct community in the wilderness to keep outsiders out.

So I really wonder how many will move?
