As the title says, Mina the Hollower is now on PortMaster, so if you want to play it on your modern/retro handheld and you have a Steam or GOG copy, you can set it up in 20 minutes, half of which is just waiting for the installation.

I was about to wait until I bought a Switch 2 to play Mina, but I've been kind of down and a little sick this week, and the moment I saw it was released on PortMaster, it immediately lifted my spirits, and I bought it as a treat for myself. I grabbed my RG35XX SP, installed it, and I can't wait to play it. I'll also try playing with shaders to capture the real GBC experience. Wish me luck!

היה פה פוסט שנמחק, שבו מישהו שאל איך להגיב לתגובה הבאה:
"Ah yes, pedo rapist heaven really is the best place to be as a woman"

ורציתי לכתוב תגובה מסודרת עם מקורות וטיעונים מסודרים, אבל הפוסט נמחק כשבאתי לפרסם את התגובה. בכל זאת, אני חושב שיצאה תגובה טובה שיכולה לעזור לאנשים פה אם הם רצו לענות לטענות דומות.

Let’s establish a few basic facts:

1. Israel has extradition agreements with around 55 countries in cases where the alleged conduct is also considered a crime under Israeli law (source).
2. Rape, and other forms of prohibited sexual penetration, including offenses involving minors, are illegal under Israeli law and are actively prosecuted.
3. Jewish immigration applicants are generally required to undergo a criminal background check as part of the aliyah process.

Israel has extradited individuals accused or convicted of sexual offenses. The most well-known example is the Malka Leifer affair. The controversy surrounding that case existed precisely because many Israelis criticized how long the extradition process took. In the end, however, she was extradited to Australia, stood trial, and was convicted.

There are also many less-publicized cases that directly contradict the claim that Israel has a policy of protecting sex offenders. For example, Elad Gabar was extradited from Israel to the United States to face charges related to child sexual exploitation and abuse, and was later sentenced in the US to 30 years in federal prison. Another example is Asher Karnazar, who was extradited from Israel to the United States after being accused of sexual offenses against minors.

And these are only a few examples. There are many additional cases in which Israel extradited suspects, including suspects accused of sexual crimes.

I fully acknowledge that the Israeli justice system can be slow, bureaucratic, and imperfect, like many legal systems around the world. There are valid criticisms to be made regarding inefficiency, delays, and failures in handling certain extradition cases.

But there is a major difference between criticizing flaws in a legal system and claiming that Israel, as a matter of policy, seeks to import, shelter, or protect pedophiles.
