Agreed! In that case, why not include both sides of the story to paint a fair picture, given the author thought it was fine to include more political / less-neutral statements?
Because the post is about OP’s personal feelings as they relate to EA thinking, and not about what the right thing for Israel to do is, or what the resolution for the conflict is.
I disagree because at least one of the statements I quoted above is not “feelings” as you state, and they literally talk about what might be the downside of some political actions (e.g. closer to analysis on the conflict and potential resolutions).
I don’t agree with you, because I still think the post leaves much room for readers to come to different conclusions, and is rather (in that part) a demonstration of how popular thought misses important things.
I do however appreciate your effort to discuss with me and explain your view.
One of the things that I think EAs may be able to see better than others is that such claims are not mutually exclusive.

Thank you, I appreciate you engaging in a civil way too, as well as this comment!
