Jews, if nothing else, have stealthily integrated ourselves into Western Cultures and only stand out if we choose to or are one of the various flavors of Orthodox.
To think that Ashkenazi Jews with surnames like Stern, Abrams, Becker, Dvorkin, etc. are going to swipe their credit card at a restaurant and the busboy is going to follow them outside and murder them for Being Jewy In Public is basically insane.
You can be concerned about increasing anti-Semitic sentiments while not over-inflating the actual danger posed to non-Israeli Jews.
