How ridiculous to think the Classical Rite is anti-semetic. The only parts of the Classical Liturgy that called for the conversion of Jews was the General Intercessions of Good Friday. However, the Missal of 1962 is the Missal of John XXIII, who eliminated the mention of the conversion of Jews. The last missal that used the prayer for the conversion of the Jews was progulmated in the 1950's and is almost never used.
Benedict is loosening the restrictions on the 1962 Missal of John XXIII, no others.
