Talk:Benjamin Netanyahu

message: Overwrought and incorrect inline Hebrew romanisation. Never would a Hebrew shva be transliterated as a macronised vowel. Please change Binyāmīn Nētanyāhū to Binyamin Netanyahu in accordance with WP:HEBREW. —Biolongvistul (talk) 14:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I was unable to find an English definition for the word, "pediatricist". 
Following the link to the Herman Berkovits page, it looks like the word should have been pediatrist. Can someone fix please? Danindenver (talk) 08:09, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

message: The article states his name is pronounced [binjaˈmin netanˈjahu], but the audio following the IPA in this article sounds more like [bɛnjaˈmin]. 
The IPA currently in the article suggests his name is pronounced like “bean-ya mean” instead of “ben-ya mean” 
I recommend changing the IPA in the article to [bɛnjaˈmin] for a more correct transcription of the name.

text: @User:82.9.125.177 have you read the lead? I added it there the day after you commented this, it’s in the 4th paragraph along with other controversies. It can’t be in the 1st paragraph due to Wikipedia policy and it doesn’t fit in the 2nd and 3rd. (The bit referring to trump is about to be replaced with a paragraph on his politics, see “ICJ case” below. As a general rule, instead of complaining about bias you should go to correct it and be constructive

message: article indicates he spent less than 2.5 years on his bachelors (yom kippur war break) followed by 1.5 years on a masters.  but later on says that, thanks to a double load, he got his masters in 2.5 years.  how so?  it's either 1.5 years as written, or 4 years, if "total time" (incl bachelors) is intended.
this is especially confusing since the final year(s) were also spent "concurrently" starting the harvard phd.  where he ultimately got NO degree, correct?  current wording makes it sound like the masters actually came from there.
ALSO...did he change his name to ben(jamin) NITAI or NITAY?  article has both.  2601:19C:527E:56C0:51C7:6CCC:927D:F680 (talk) 14:54, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

text: He needs to be widely characterized by reliable sources as a "suspected war criminal currently at large" in order for Wikipedia to use that exact wording. Wikipedia cannot say controversial and potentially defamatory things like that if they are not widely supported by reliable sources, per Wikipedia:BLP. JohnR1Roberts (talk) 13:24, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Even if the arrest warrant was issued, this is not something for the first sentence. He would need to be convicted of war crimes and widely characterized as one first for this to be changed. Mellk (talk) 18:47, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's a bit absurd to say that he hasn't been "widely characterized" as a war criminal given the historic and international protests against his government. As for credible sources, plenty of humanitarian organizations have been clear about the apparent crimes against humanity happening in Gaza including UNICEF and Amnesty International. To quote this NBC article, ""Biden's response was deeply disappointing," Kenneth Roth, the former executive director of Human Rights Watch, told NBC News in a phone interview on Tuesday. "There was nothing 'outrageous'," he said, about Khan's decision to apply for arrest warrants "at all."" Frankly on the face of the direct primary evidence available to the public at large (footage, accounts from evacuees, etc), I don't think one can honestly say there is a shadow of a reasonable doubt that there are large scale crimes against humanity occurring in Gaza.  Whether the line should be at the top of the entry is another matter that I don't feel qualified to speak on but w/r/t wide characterization by reliable sources I'm pretty sure this case easily clears that bar. Phriendx (talk) 20:17, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, there are plenty of people protesting (and maybe a number of commentators?) who call him as a war criminal, but there is WP:NPOV. It would not be correct to say that most reliable sources, and given that this is WP:BLP would need to include very high-quality sources, outright call him a war criminal. This is probably in part due to him not being convicted of war crimes by a court. Of course, there are people as you mentioned who would like to see him face court but this is different and more of a matter of opinion rather than a statement of fact.
