Pretrib anti-Semitism (again)

Is pretrib latently anti-Semitic? Does it have anti-Jewish baggage? I commented on something like this before. Recently a prominent non-pretribber (prewrath) tweeted the following:

The doctrine of the Pretribulational rapture holds that while Christians can claim the God of Israel, the King of Israel, the Kingdom of Israel, Israel’s Covenant, and her wedding, they may expect to avoid the time of Israel’s Trouble.

Someone remarked:

Though probably not intentional or well thought out by most, pre-trib doctrine leans anti-Semitic. God is faithful to His word. He said He would deliver Israel in the end and He will.

No one challenged the anti-Semitic dig. I recall old preterist accusations of anti-Semitism against futuristic premils due to their understanding of Zech 13:8. Note also this from a Q & A with Tony Garland:

[Pretrib is] An ivory tower theology that does not want to face the facts of history is also evident in the relatively recent doctrine that the Church will escape what Scripture calls tribulation and all the punishment will fall on Israel. While this is not a total Replacement theology it nevertheless is a partial one in that the Church inherits the blessings and Israel is left behind with the curses. I see this as another manifestation of Christian anti-Semitism which closes its eyes to the damage that the Church has caused and is still causing with this comforting (for Christians) so called pre-trib teaching. WHERE IS THE THEOLOGICAL VIEW OF HISTORY that does justice to God's eternal covenant with Abraham, to God's own name, for he is supposed to act NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT ISRAEL IS BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT HE IS? (Bolding mine)

Comments such this tend to self-exult: "my rapture view is more virtuous than yours." Or "I'm braver than you." The first person wrote about "Israel’s Covenant and her wedding" and avoiding "the time of Israel's trouble." I'm not sure which covenant he's referring to (New Covenant?). His reference to the wedding is a barb against the pretrib use of Jewish tradition. Does that make the likes of Arnold Fruchtenbaum (and other Jewish pretribbers) somehow suspect?  

But how does this square with the prewrath perspective? As noted elsewhere, the (PW) position maintains that the worst time of all sees the church removed to spare its life. But Israel has to suffer the "Day of the Lord wrath." And according to recent PW accounts, the tribulation continues for the Jews! 

Not only does this view leave Israel behind, we are also left to ponder how anyone can survive the continuing (worst) tribulation (given the church has to be removed) and (presumably) combined with what ought to be the worst period of all—God's wrath. 

The original tweeter is an intelligent individual with a decent ministry outreach. Sadly, in this case, anti-pretrib bias gets in the way of objective thinking.

Anti-Semitism is insidious. Over the years I've written my share of articles for the Omega Letter exposing anti-Israel bias and anti-Semitism. My rapture view is formed by my (no doubt imperfect) understanding of eschatological passages, not bias against Israel. Inferring otherwise smacks of a cultic mindset.
