Thanks, Jai-

 I just signed.

Hope you are having a good summer. 
We are in Durban now, but expect to spend much of next August and September in Joburg - working with students and faculty at Wits where we are now (marginally) affiliated. 
On the run, but sending love,
David

But apologies for any duplications.  Please consider signing on, and especially – as per her note – people from Asia and Africa; sign on at we4gaza.org <http://we4gaza.org/> :

> The European Co-ordination of Palestine Associations and Committees (ECCP) from Brussels has already  appealed to the European Union's High Representative Federica Mogherini, in view of the European Council of Foreign Ministers to be held on 17 July. Letters were sent to the President of Parliament, Mr Taviani, and to the head of the Parliamentary groups and those coordinating the affair of Palestine and Israel, and to the member of the Palestine Commission of the European Parliament . We will follow up.

> The appeal highlights Israel's responsibilities on the current disastrous economic and social situation in Gaza, and points to its strategy to cause bycrisis after crisis that may lead to the slow extermination of a population already affected by several military attacks with thousands of civilian victims which destroyed essential infrastructure.
> 
> We state that the reiterated crisis have not been and can not be solved by buffer measures. Emergencies, such as the recent electricity crisis and the almost permanent scarcity of drinking water, can only be solved - emphasizes the appeal - joining short and long-term development plans without which menace of deaths will continue to strangulate the population. Every day, children and adults are dying because they can not receive the necessary care due to the lack of adequate medication and equipment (dialysis, diabetes, cancer patients, children with cystic fibrosis, premature infants, patients requiring surgery).
> 
> The appeal,  finally point to the fact that the agony of Gaza  endangers the very possibility of Palestine's life, which, as essential conditions, needs the involvement of all the people in the path of self-determination, the  participation in a widespread democratic process, the end of Israeli siege and occupation: Gaza has to live in order for  Palestine to live.
