I mean, honestly I think that that source is going to be as factual as you can get, it seems. The first couple pf paragraphs lay out plainly that Israel is committing a war crime. This site describes as justsecurity.org as a center-left website with high reliability for reporting. The people who run the site also all seem to have legal/federal backgrounds that are specifically focused on foreign affairs and such.
I think the issue is knowing that it doesn't matter how many factual, as unbiased sources as you can muster, people do not care and will fight you, or back out of the conversation entirely because they are just trolling you for emotional labor. This has been my exclusive experience on Reddit. I will provide irrefutable evidence from sources like the fucking FBI, which of course a lib would trust, or state health agencies, etc. and the person who was arguing with me for two days just vanishes. I do enjoy having a good copy/paste effortpost to be able to insert where it's appropriate, though, in hopes that someone out there reads it and it helps to shift their perspectve a bit.
