Unfortunately the registration forms on the web are geared for US based applicants only and registering her using our Australian address is impossible. I know that somone from Canda complanined about the same thing but, does anyone else from another country experienced this problem? and how did they get around it?

And encinoyeled re-the conference, my understanding is that things are in process and details will come shortly. At least that's what they keep telling me.

It's just that if you recall, there were lots of these families who didn't want to be involved with the government agencies and almost 700 out of 2000 families didn't even bother to contact the government until after the disengagement began. If you recall, at least two entire communities in Northern Gaza vacated before the disengagement began. That suggests to me that those who wanted to move early and receive gov't assistance, could and did. As I write, efforts continue to be made to provide communities and homes for the Gazan Jews. They went as far as to agree to every demand made by the families who were slated for Nitzanim. By the way, what do you think of Gazan families that are moving into the West Bank? Sane or insane?

You could interview each family and tell every story. Document it for the public record. Don't accuse us of not blogging what you want to see at any givin moment, Do it yourself. Be proactive.It feels better then pointing bitter fingers at others. Encino yeled, I believe it is in the works for presidents day weekend. well listen josh, here’s an idea, you could start a blog – all former gaza jews, all the time.

How many posts did we do on Gush Katif, both in the pro and con? Way to have selective memory, generalize and be insulting all in one shot. Miriam, I dunno about the two addresses bit, but I know you can go on an american trip (like ours) if you can provide any working american address, any friend or relative, anything at all...but you didn't hear that from me. oh geez josh, way to be in the holiday spirit.

That way, you get the US address and a second address. Just make sure to let Dov Charney know. I hear he's real accessible.

Or is there a way for Canadians to get on board? Also, as an aside-- why the f*** do I need TWO addresses to register for birthright?! Some of us only have one apartment to live in (and thus only one permanant address), and aren't lucky enough to have parents (or a relationship with them). Any suggestions for how to get around this on the application? Or is it a prerequisite for them to talk to a parental figure before letting you go? Is this one Americans-only too?
