Luther was definitely an anti-Semite.
Anti-Semitism is a very strange beast, or set of beasts, that I have a very hard time getting my head around.
It's kind of like hating "red" or "blue."

Hmmm. Lessee how close Luther really comes to anticipating Nazism's approach to the "Jewish question":
Jews are bloodsuckers (check)
blood libel (check)
diseased (check)
burn their synagouges (check)
confiscate their homes and property (check)
deny them protection from assault (check)
make them to work at hard labor (check)
kill 'em outright (nope)
Aha! See! Luther didn't advocate death camps. Nothin' like the Nazis ('cept for burning the blood-suckers' synagogues and all that).
