CHARLOTTE, NC -- Mark Alan Siegel, the Palm Beach County Democratic Party Chairman is creating controversy on the sidelines of the party's national convention in Charlotte, saying he believes Christians want Jews "slaughtered."

In an interview posted on the conservative website, PatriotUpdate.com , Siegel said, "I'm Jewish. I'm not a fan of any religion other than Judaism." When asked if he's not a fan of Christianity, Siegel responded, "No, I'm not. The Christians just want us to be there so we can be slaughtered and converted and bring on the second coming of Jesus Christ."

Siegel went on to say, "They're not our friends. They want Israel to pursue policies which are antithetical with its security and existence. The worst possible allies for the Jewish state are the fundamentalist Christians who want Jews to die and convert so they can bring on the second coming of their Lord. It is a false friendship. They are seeking their own ends and not ours."

Siegel was interviewed by Scottie Neil Hughes, a reporter who represents Patriot TV and the Tea Party News Network.

According to the Palm Beach Post, Siegel later apologized.

Here's his statement: “I apologize to all Democrats and Floridians for my ill chosen words last night. After watching the interview I realize that what I said did not accurately make the point I was trying to establish. More importantly I apologize to all Christians, Jews and other people of faith for any embarrassment or anger my remarks may have caused. Throughout my life I have practiced religious tolerance among all people of faith. I am sincerely sorry for any remarks I made that may have diminished that record. I alone am responsible for my remarks and I pray that they are not taken as the position of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party.”

Yael Hershfield, ADL Florida Interim Regional Director, issued the following statement:
 
“The Anti-Defamation League is glad to see that  Mr. Siegel has issued a sincere apology for his offensive  comments about Christians, and that he made it clear he was solely responsible for them.  Religious bigotry has no place in politics and civil society.”

Mark Siegal is a traitor piece of trash. He should be put under cherem and if he ever sets foot in Israel he should be given the high treason treatment.

What a great way to spread unity among the religions.

So let me try to follow atheist logic: a religion that thinks something bad might happen to Jews in the future is a bigger threat than a religion that is actively trying to destroy the Jews now, so they have to side with the second religion against the first religion.

He only means conservative Christians leftists Christians are great for him

With "Jews" like Siegel who needs Koranrats?

The following part of the article especially caught my attention:

Siegel went on to say, "They're not our friends. They want Israel to pursue policies which are antithetical with its security and existence

Along the lines of some of the other comments in this thread,    Siegel is stating that a so called two state solution will increase Israel's security and that there would be less of a threat to Israel's existence.    What a complete fool!     The Fakeastians ( Fatah ) wants to delude Israel and those like Mark Alan Siegel into thinking that they want peace.     Each and everyday,  their actions illustrate that their goal is for Israel's destruction!

When a leftist starts criticizing and appeasing everyone at the same moment of time, then he lands himself in to such type of surreal realities.

This ugly, beak-nosed traitor didn't mention that we Christians who support Israel don't support it because it will end the world but because it is part of our religious beliefs, as well as general moral beliefs which tell us we should support Israel. I know for sure most Jews want nothing to do with this traitor. Most Jews know Christians are their brothers, and we Christians know the same about Jews.

 So left-wing Christians like Jimmy Carter and such are good for Israel and the Jews? It seems as though the DNC   
 chairman is being somewhat of a paranoid cynic with a closed-minded, limited view on this. Everyone's posts were
 excellent so far on this issue.

This nit wit has it ass backwards...its the muslims who want the jews slaughtered and nuclear war to hasten the Mahdi.  There are millions of Christians supporting Israel, and the Jewish people, as seen in Washington every July when thousands from Christians United For Israel Show up and take a stand to support Israel and God's people..I am so sick of these liars...Debbie Wasserman, (caught on tape by the way) Schutz also said that Michael Oren said that the GOP was dangerous...and he never said it, and Allen Dershowitz said he never would have said it, because they don't want to take political sides. So there, Mr Chairman!
