Don't want to take the other thread OT. Can I get the english version?

"If these people were in fact acting kdas uchdin (which is sounds like for the most part) they are no different than the people who learned torah with children and preformed milos in communist Russia. They are the closest this we have today of moiser nefesh al kiddush hashem"

We study mishnayos, (-the oral torah), it merits the soul of the deceased.

Heads up:

משרד החוץ הוציא אזהרת נסיעה לתאילנד .

תאילנד - הפגנות פוליטיות - אזהרת נסיעה.

בתאילנד מתקיימות עתה הפגנות פוליטיות רבות משתתפים. ההפגנות עלולות לגרום לשיבושי תנועה.
שימת לבכם כי גם הפגנות שלוות עלולות להתדרדר לאלימות תוך זמן קצר.
הממשלה הכניסה לתוקף במספר אזורים את חוק הביטחון הפנימי ISA המאפשר לרשויות סמכויות חירום נוספות בעת הצורך.ישראלים בתאילנד מתבקשים להקפיד ולהתרחק מאזורי הפגנות וריכוזי כוחות בטחון. מומלץ לעקוב אחר דיווחי התקשורת, לנהוג בערנות ובמשנה זהירות ולפעול על פי הנחיות הרשויות המקומיות.
