#4. SS: According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), at least 564 schools in the Gaza Strip have been directly hit or damaged by Israeli attacks. In your view, what can be done about this, and why would Israel target schools run by the UN?
DK: Israel has generally been targeting these schools because they have become centers to house Palestinians displaced by the war. Israel wants to do maximum damage to the Palestinian people in Gaza in order to carry out its genocidal designs. Israel has also targeted schools and universities as a process of "educide," wanting to destroy Palestine's well-known culture of education and learning.
#5. SS: It appears Israel is above the law, and the international community seems impotent to stop Israel from atrocities and crimes. It is known that the US is complicit in the crimes that Israel is allowed to commit with impunity. In your opinion, is there any possibility of holding the US accountable for their complicity?
DK: It will be very difficult to hold the U.S. accountable because of its overwhelming military superiority in the world. The U.S. has destroyed international law in order to create a world in which might makes right, knowing that this would give the U.S. the advantage to do as it wills without limits. This has created a truly dangerous situation in the world that will be hard to contain.
