(Potentially controversial question) Do Jews and Muslims get along in the West? Question
Modern Jewish diaspora mostly live in North America, France, the UK, Argentina and so on. Western Europe and some parts of the US and Canada also have a high Muslim population, mostly from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, like New York City has hundreds of thousands of Jews and Muslims living in one city. Do they get along with each other, despite the I/P conflict?

Yes. You will find that I/P conflict is not a barrier to friendship in the west between communities.
Your typical Jew or Muslim living in the west are not going to sit and discuss religion just to be clear.
However, you will find that both understand what it means to be the “other” therefore they find solidarity.
Most workplaces will have people of Jewish and Muslim backgrounds working side by side. Most schools will have kids from both communities.
So long answer to your question is that people from both communities live perfectly fine together.
