The obvious answer is "to cultivate tolerance". However, even in the most cultivated and open societies there is antisemitism. According to Jewish tradition, antisemitism is "built into system" to ensure that the Jews don't assimilate. To quote Mark Twain: "I suppose the race prejudice cannot be removed; but he can stand that; it is no particular matter. By his make and ways he is substantially a foreigner wherever he may be, and even the angels dislike a foreigner. " "To conclude. - If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one per cent. of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star-dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?"

Answer 2: Antisemitism becomes meaningless if you only refer it to jews. In fact, as you can see below the term has been hijacked by zionists to refer to jews only. Linguistically, Anti-semitism is made up of 'semitic' and 'anti'. 'Anti' which is a prefix that means 'against' or 'opposed to'. And, 'semitic' which means: 1) relating to or denoting a family of languages that includes Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic and certain ancient languages such as Phoenician and Akkadian, constituting the main subgroup of the Afro-Asiatic family. 2) describes the people who came from the Middle East and their languages. Arabs and Jews are both Semitic. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are all Semitic religions because they originated in the Middle East.

We can therefore infer that being anti-semitic implies you are against semitic languages as well as semitic religions. Now to answer your question, to stop anti-semitism would imply you would need to stop people being against semitic languages and semitic religions - which would mean you would have to convince logically and reasonably to atheists and polytheists of why they should accept a monotheistic religion and accept their semitic language especially one that has been rooted from middle east region. Or, at least be willing to get along with them and accept them as part of society with a right to access to the same resources.

Answer 3: The disingenuousness of the second Answer is itself an example of genteel anti-Semitism. The term was coined to refer specifically to Jews, and no verbose contortionism will change that.

Anti-semitism is unfortunatley a form of dsiscrimmination in people's minds. It can't be stopped, only dampened down to say the least. It is like a belief, which can't really be eradicated.
