Feel free to replace 'UN investigators' with any of the other people or organizations who have been forced to recognize that the evidence is overwhelming, even against their best interest. Appealing to no authority except the evidence here. Once that gets placed on the table and forced into consideration, the only defenses are irrationality, conspiracy theories and claiming special knowledge.

Which of them would you claim is neutral? Amnesty International, who opened their report with "On 7 October 2023, Israel embarked on a military offensive", as if nothing else happened on 7 October? And then decided that the usual standard for inferring specific intent was "overly cramped".
> Appealing to no authority except the evidence here
You haven't mentioned evidence here, only authorities.
This is a really unconvincing appeal to authority when we consider the three particular individuals behind the report, as well as broad anti-Israel bias in the UN.
