            <description>&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Exclusive: Foreign hacker in 2023 compromised Epstein files held by FBI, source and documents show&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;TLDR:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;1) Hacker entered FBI database by accident and saw Epstein files and pedo photos&lt;br /&gt;2) Hacked got disgusted and threatened to report to FBI, not knowing the database belongs to FBI&lt;br /&gt;3) FBI then got into video call with hacker to tell them they are actually the FBI  &lt;!--emo&amp;:stars:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxub.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you ever think how incompetent Malaysian police are, look at the FBI. Recent news mock MACC for using WhatsApp to contact James Chai, meanwhile here you have FBI straight up video chatting with hackers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sidenote - If random hackers have entered FBI servers, surely more powerful folks may have already possess compromising materials of powerful men, including Trump.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) -&lt;b&gt; A foreign hacker compromised files relating to the FBI’s investigation of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein&lt;/b&gt; during a break-in at the bureau’s New York Field Office three years ago, according to ​a source familiar with the matter and recently published Justice Department documents reviewed by Reuters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The details of who accessed a server at the FBI’s New York Field Office, ‌including the allegation that a foreign hacker was involved, are being reported here for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a statement, the FBI said what it described as a &amp;quot;cyber incident&amp;quot; was &amp;quot;an isolated one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The FBI restricted access to the malicious actor and rectified the network. The investigation remains ongoing, so we do not have further comments to provide at this time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the source said the intrusion appeared to have been carried out by a cybercriminal rather than a foreign government, ​the incident underscores the files&amp;#39; potential intelligence value, one academic said. The legally mandated publication of U.S. Justice Department documents has exposed the dead financier&amp;#39;s ties to prominent people in politics, finance, academia and business, ​triggering investigations in numerous countries around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Who wouldn’t be going after the Epstein files if you’re the Russians or somebody interested in kompromat?”&lt;/b&gt; said ⁠Jon Lindsay, who researches the role of emerging technology in global security at the Georgia Institute of Technology. “If foreign intelligence agencies are not thinking seriously about the Epstein files as a target, then ​I would be shocked.”&lt;br /&gt;The breach was reported contemporaneously by CNN and Reuters on February 17; the connection to Epstein materials was made by the French magazine Marianne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Epstein, a longtime associate of President Donald Trump, ​pleaded guilty in 2008 to prostitution charges, including soliciting an underage girl. He was found hanged in his jail cell in 2019, in what was ruled a suicide, after being arrested again on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The person familiar with the breach said the intrusion was carried out by a foreign hacker who did not appear ​to realize they had penetrated ⁠a law enforcement server. The hacker expressed disgust at the presence of child abuse images on the device and left a message threatening to turn its owner over to the FBI, the person said.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The source said bureau &lt;b&gt;officials defused the situation by convincing the hacker that they actually were the FBI, in part by having the hacker join a video chat where they flashed their law enforcement credentials in front ⁠of a web ​camera.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.reuters.com/world/us/foreign-hacker-2023-compromised-epstein-files-held-by-fbi-source-documents-show-2026-03-11/' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/us/foreign-ha...how-2026-03-11/&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>US intel: Iran not at risk of collapsing</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5557978</link>
            <description>&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Exclusive: US intelligence says Iran government is not at risk of collapse, say sources&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEW YORK/WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence indicates that &lt;b&gt;Iran&amp;#39;s leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of collapse any time soon&lt;/b&gt; after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to three ​sources familiar with the matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &amp;quot;multitude&amp;quot; of intelligence reports provide &lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;consistent analysis that the regime is not in danger&amp;quot; of collapse and &amp;quot;retains control of the Iranian public,&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt; ‌said one of the sources, all of whom were granted anonymity to discuss U.S. intelligence findings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The intelligence reporting underscores the &lt;b&gt;cohesion ​of Iran&amp;#39;s clerical leadership &lt;/b&gt;despite the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, the first day of the U.S. and Israeli strikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Israeli officials in closed discussions also ​have acknowledged there is no certainty the war will lead to the clerical government&amp;#39;s collapse&lt;/b&gt;, a senior Israeli official told Reuters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/us-intelligence-says-iran-government-is-not-risk-collapse-say-sources-2026-03-11/' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.reuters.com/business/media-tele...ces-2026-03-11/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;US / Israel started a war with zero objectives. Until now, nobody knows what exactly they&amp;#39;re trying to achieve. The only thing that has been achieved is soaring global oil price, innocent civilian deaths, a billion dollar wasted each day paid for by Americans and destabilization of entire Middle East. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ironically, the more they try to destroy &amp;quot;anti Zionist / anti Semite&amp;quot; Iranians, the more they fuel antisemitism in US. Americans are slowly becoming angry with Israel, young Americans slowly becoming anti semites, and there&amp;#39;s a growing significant belief that American politicians are all compromised by Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the coming decades, we may see Israel falling out of American favor when the younger generation take over American politics. It&amp;#39;s already slowly happening - look at New York&amp;#39;s mayor openly opposing Israel. It&amp;#39;s happening in Europe as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/12/american-anti-semitism-youth/685261/' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/12/a...m-youth/685261/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/antisemitism-america-right-wing-yale-poll-b2900279.html' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/am...l-b2900279.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://yalepolling.substack.com/p/we-polled-young-americans-on-antisemitism?triedRedirect=true' target='_blank'&gt;https://yalepolling.substack.com/p/we-polle...edRedirect=true&lt;/a&gt;</description>

This is Malay logic. Born Indian? Double whammy bro sorry cina sudah kaya but I will discriminate you too.</description>

            <title>Unilaterally conversion of a 4 year old</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5503162</link>
            <description>&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unilaterally-converted Selangor woman fails final court bid to be declared not Muslim&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Selangor-born woman today failed in her final attempt at the Federal Court to seek a court declaration that she is not a Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;TLDR - Father Hindu, Mother Buddhist. Mother later convert to Islam and change their daughter&amp;#39;s religion to Islam as well without father&amp;#39;s consent. The daughter is 4 years old then. The daughter for the past 11 years now try to change her religion but cannot.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this the standard of our law? Is this freedom of religion or is this religious coercion? How is the average Malay/Muslims okay with this? Zero ethics, zero humanity. Folks ask why Islamophobia is a thing, but turn a blind eye to farces like these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Federal Court judge Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof, who chaired a three-judge panel, dismissed the 38-year-old woman’s application to review an earlier Federal Court decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We unanimously dismiss the application in both cases with no order as to costs,” she said after the Federal Court heard the case today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other two judges on the panel are Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang and Datuk Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This woman, identified only as D to protect her privacy, was born in Selangor to a Hindu father and a Buddhist mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mother later converted herself and D, then four years’ old, to Islam without the father’s knowledge or consent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previously, D told the courts she was born a Hindu and had only professed and practised the Hindu religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D also said she was never a Muslim, had never converted to Islam and had never uttered the “kalimah syahadah” (the declaration of faith required to convert to Islam).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D has spent 11 years — since age 27 — going to the courts to seek a declaration that she is not a Muslim, as she just wanted to be officially recorded as not a Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This all started from when she tried at the age of 25 in 2011 to have the label “Islam” removed from her identity card to reflect her religious identity to be a non-Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the National Registration Department rejected her application for the removal of the “Islam” label, and the Shariah courts also rejected her bid to be confirmed as a non-Muslim, which then led to her efforts in the civil courts to be recognised as not a Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D in December 2021 won a High Court order that declared her as “not a person professing the religion of Islam”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the Court of Appeal in a 2-1 decision in January 2023 restored D’s official religious status as a Muslim, and the Federal Court in a 2-1 decision in May 2024 agreed that D should remain officially known as a Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D had wanted the Federal Court’s panel today to review the decision made by the two judges in May 2024 against her, but the Federal Court’s rejection of her review application means that her official religious status remains as a Muslim now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2025/01/06/unilaterally-converted-selangor-woman-fails-final-court-bid-to-be-declared-not-muslim/162199' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/202...t-muslim/162199&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Perlis and MAIPS still want to force children</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5491688</link>
            <description>Looks like despite Federal Court telling them that the unilateral conversion is illegal as per constitution, they don&amp;#39;t want to give up. Today, they filed for a review to reinstate Islamic status of the kids. The kids even told the judge that they do not want to be Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daily reminder that &lt;b&gt;Mufti Perlis SUPPORTS illegal unilateral conversion&lt;/b&gt;. Not only he supports this disgusting and unethical practice, he&amp;#39;s also a known racist (proof is here &lt;a href='https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=5488494)' target='_blank'&gt;https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=5488494)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is wrong in their head?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/724451' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/724451&lt;/a&gt; (BM) / &lt;a href='https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/724453' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/724453&lt;/a&gt; (EN)</description>

            <title>UK-UM cardiothoracic program was recognized</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5465763</link>
            <description>I&amp;#39;m sure most of you are now well aware that the UK masters in cardiothoracic programme that is taught in UM is unrecognized. If it is unrecognized, the graduates cannot practice as specialist in Malaysia. Bear in mind this program was created under MoE and KKM initiative. So how on earth it turned out to be unrecognized is unimaginable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But here&amp;#39;s the best part, it was listed on MMC website itself that the program IS RECOGNISED, but suddenly in 2021, they removed it from the website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine how you as a student would feel? Literally kena tipu and scammed by government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.msn.com/en-my/health/other/mmc-admits-specialist-qualification-from-uk-college-was-in-list-until-2021/ar-BB1oFLyA' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.msn.com/en-my/health/other/mmc-...021/ar-BB1oFLyA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('e98cf0e44813c0129dafe690e2db476b')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;e98cf0e44813c0129dafe690e2db476b&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;The Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) has conceded that the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh cardiothoracic surgeons (FRCS Ed CTS) qualification was in the list of the National Specialist Register (NSR), but claimed it had no control of the NSR website, according to a court document.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In its affidavit-in-reply to a suit filed by four cardiothoracic surgeons who obtained the FRCS Ed CTS via the health ministry’s parallel pathway programme, MMC said it took over the NSR website from Jan 1, 2023, from the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia (AMM).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“For some reason unknown to the respondent (MMC), the NSR website contained a different list (which contained the FRCS ed CTS qualification) that was neither approved nor authorised by the respondent,” MMC acting CEO Anas Hussein said in the June 15 document sighted by FMT.&lt;br /&gt;He said the anomaly discovered in 2021 had the FRCS Ed CTS among the specialist qualifications recognised by the NSR. He alleged that it had been entered into the list without permission or knowledge of MMC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Dr Rusnah Hussin from the NSR secretariat wrote to MMC admitting that the list on the website has not been updated according to the list provided by MMC in 2017. Following this, it was the AMM which removed the FRCS Ed CTS from the list on Jan 24, 2022,” he said.&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;</description>

            <description>Malaysia Madani at its best. Formula boy economy minister Rafizi. Imagine putting the country&amp;#39;s economy at the hands of formula boy who&amp;#39;s own company is not even profitable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;b&gt;World Bank estimates &amp;quot;underachieving&amp;quot; 4.3pc economic growth for Malaysia in 2024&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KUALA LUMPUR: The World Bank forecasts Malaysia&amp;#39;s economy to grow an &amp;quot;underachieving&amp;quot; 4.3 per cent in 2024 and 4.5 per cent in 2025 supported by private consumption. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;World Bank East Asia and Pacific chief economist Aaditya Mattoo said despite the growth Malaysia has recorded thus far, the country is still deemed an underachiever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;b&gt;Malaysia is another country which has underachieved&lt;/b&gt;. It has tremendous potential and should not be satisfied with the growth rate we are seeing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;It is a country which has continued to restrict competition especially in the services sector. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;It made a remarkable transition from commodities to manufacturing but to &lt;b&gt;transition to a more sophisticated manufacturing and services, Malaysia has been stuck. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;Its skilled people choose to leave and work in Singapore. &lt;/b&gt;Malaysia&amp;#39;s challenge is to generate that virtual cycle between creating human capacity and encouraging new opportunities for Malaysians within Malaysia,&amp;quot; added Mattoo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.nst.com.my/business/economy/2024/04/1032838/world-bank-estimates-underachieving-43pc-economic-growth-malaysia' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.nst.com.my/business/economy/202...growth-malaysia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For 2023, Malaysia already underperformed significantly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Malaysia&amp;#39;s 2023 annual GDP misses target at 3.7% amid weak exports&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia&amp;#39;s economy grew 3.7% in 2023, the country&amp;#39;s central bank said Friday, coming in below the target of 4% to 5% due to &amp;quot;prolonged weakness&amp;quot; of external demand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Malaysia-s-annual-GDP-misses-target-at-3.7-amid-weak-exports' target='_blank'&gt;https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Malaysia-s-...id-weak-exports&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Hamas angry at Iran and Hezbollah</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5418137</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;TLDR - Iran and Hezbollah backtracked when they realised US deployed two carrier strike groups. Kesian Sunni people expect Shia people to help them LUL.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamas feels betrayed by Hezbollah and Iran, and it doesn’t appear likely that either will meaningfully help at this stage in the war, a Palestinian Authority security official said on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Hamas source, quoted in a Financial Times report on Friday, said the terrorist group’s leadership had not expected the United States to deploy two aircraft carrier strike groups to the region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mousa Abu Marzouk, a senior member of the Hamas politburo, has been expressing deep anger at Iran and Hezbollah. Appearing on Egyptian television, Abu Marzouk said bitterly, “We expected more from our allies. … Hopefully what is happening in Gaza will awaken the conscience of the [Arab states’] rulers.”</description>

The appeal was initially set to be heard on Oct 19 this year before it was rescheduled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maips seeks a variation of the civil court custody order so that the council could provide Islamic education to the children while being under their non-Muslim mother’s care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/683887' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/683887&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

According to them Hamas is Israel&amp;#39;s idea.

The people of Gaza chose them to lead.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a Facebook post on Tuesday (Oct 17), Mr Anwar said he had a conversation with Hamas’ Political Bureau head Ismail Haniyeh the day before to express the country’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people.&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minta pencerahan from Hamas lovers.</description>

            <title>People say the Jews took over Palestines land</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5413028</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='https://palestinevaincra.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/PFLP-group-1969-1080x675.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Israel won the second war between Israel and Arab countries, a lot of Palestinians became refugees. The King of Jordan let them in to stay as refugees. However, the Palestinian Liberation Organization is extremely radicalized to the point that they tried to carve a country out of Jordan itself. In fact, the PLO tried to assassinate the King of Jordan multiple times. After that, they got into a war. This is named Black September. The PLO lost, and Jordan expelled all of them out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September' target='_blank'&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these Palestinians that left Jordan found their way to Lebanon. Not too long after, PLO started a civil war in Lebanon itself, again where they tried to create a country for themselves. They lost again, so they left Lebanon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_insurgency_in_South_Lebanon' target='_blank'&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_i...n_South_Lebanon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Palestinians eventually settled in Kuwait after. When Saddam Hussein of Iraq invaded Kuwait, the PLO sided with Iraq. When Kuwait lost to Iraq, the Palestinians cheered and welcomed the conqueror. But the world army together joined and kicked Iraq out of Kuwait. Kuwait regained its independence, and the first thing Kuwait did was to expel all Palestinians out of the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_of_Kuwait_campaign' target='_blank'&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_of_Kuwait_campaign&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_exodus_from_Kuwait_(1990%E2%80%9391)' target='_blank'&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_e...990%E2%80%9391)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;So today if you wonder why so many Arab countries, while they pity the Palestinians, they won&amp;#39;t take them in, it’s because history shows that they are will start an armed conflict.&lt;/b&gt; Many terrorist organizations like Hamas and Fatah have brainwashed Palestinians so much to the point that many of their own Arab brothers and sisters don&amp;#39;t want them already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why Egypt that borders Gaza refuse to accept any of them. They even block them from entering their country as of right now when Israel is attacking them.</description>
