How do you feel about Gen. James Mattis after these quotes?

specifically the evangelicals

I paid a military security price every day as a commander of CENTCOM because the Americans were seen as biased in support of Israel

settlements are going to make it impossible to maintain the two-state option. Settlements might weaken Israel as a Jewish and Democratic state and could lead to Israel becoming an “apartheid” state.

“If I’m in Jerusalem and I put 500 Jewish settlers out here to the east and there’s 10,000 Arab settlers in here, if we draw the border to include them, either it ceases to be a Jewish state or you say the Arabs don’t get to vote — apartheid,

Don't care about a Jewish state. I like Israel because they have balls, not because they are Jews.

Well I liked him before, but now the guy is basically Alfred Jodl...dissin Isrul and stuff.

Is there a suspected attitude or response we are to take...
I could give 2 fuhks and a shekel if Arabs are oppressed in Israel...nor do I care the pressure it adds to CENTCOM/CCs...
Send the Israeli aor to AFRICOM then

Seem like rational, pragmatic points to me

Be honest, be straightforward and lets go from there. Thats my thoughts.

That's the idea.
A two state solution is a pipe dream. The Palestinian body politic is like Frankenstein's monster at this point. Hamas and their ilk have poisoned the well to the point that they would never be able to maintain control if they accept the existence of Israel.
I loathe to admit that I agree with John Bolton about anything, but he's correct that a three state solution is the only conceivable path outside the status quo. Israel remains Jewish with the current Arab Israeli minority and Jordan and Egypt absorb the remaining Palestinians.

Makes me respect him even more. And I wasn't sure that was possible.
The man is intelligent enough not to be constricted by ideology. He deals in the real world.
We need that.

OMG someone in authority who tells the truth!
Israel's policies are sucidal. But they don't have many good choices.

Deep down, in the places you don't like to think about, you want him on that wall. You need him on that wall.

What does it have to do with evangelicals?

Absolutely this. ^
IF their cohesiveness comes from being Jewish, then so be it. They are the only bright spot in the entire Middle East.
They have given it to the dark age misfits too often already trying to achieve some sort of 'peace arrangement' with a culture that has only one objective = the absolute destruction of Israel as a state and Jews as a people.
I am totally pro-Israel and have no attachment at all to Judaism. Whatever floats their boat is fine by me as long as they continue to be the lone beacon of hope for decent civilization in the area.

No secret Mattis hates a wholesome nation like the Jewish state, our only ally in an absolute lion's den; he is a single, 60-year old man with probably some pretty large skeletons in his closet...

Sounds like exactly what the Obama administration was saying last week, which had republican brown shirts in a rabid frenzy. But the comments are correct.
