Is it "Benjamin" or "Binyamin"?

In the economist article it keeps referring to him as Binyamin Netanyahu so which one is it? "Benjamin" or "Binyamin"? https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2024/09/19/israels-government-is-again-trying-to-hobble-its-supreme-court DataCrusade1999 (talk) 13:16, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

@DataCrusade1999 Binyamin is the Hebrew pronunciation and spelling of the name Benjamin which is where the name originates from. Netanyahu is named after the biblical figure Benjamin whose name was spelled as Binyamin. FloridaMan21 02:17, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

@DataCrusade1999 The economist frequently uses esoteric spellings of foreign words for some reason. I remember in a recent issue they also had a really odd spelling of Hezbollah.

Why is his birth name (Benzion Mileikowsky) not mentioned in the article?

IAmBecomeDeath (talk) 20:25, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

It is his father's birth name, not his. 2A02:14F:17C:7FA4:219A:9D1:36EE:6892 (talk) 19:03, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Convicted War Criminal

The article needs to mention that he is a convicted war criminal with arrest orders by the ICC. 46.31.118.94 (talk) 06:31, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

 Already done: It already says that in the article. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 14:27, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: Please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. An arrest warrant has been issued, however, as of today, he has yet to be convicted by the ICC. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 15:55, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

It should clearly state this at the head of his page, like it does with Hitler. 185.34.8.89 (talk) 02:46, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Does Poland come under occupied Palestin

Prime minister of bangladash (occupied Palestin) is said to have born in telaviv which is in occupied Palestin, but he actually was born in Poland so does Poland come under occupied Palestin or Israel. 2409:40F0:1044:7BFB:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 04:29, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

He was, according to the cited sources, born in Tel Aviv. Netanyahu's Father was born in Poland. Totalstgamer (talk) 07:30, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Analysis of Jeffrey Sachs on Nethanyahu and the wars in the Middle East

We should include something from the analysis of Columbia Professor Jeffrey Sachs talking about how Netanyahu has successfully influenced U.S. foreign policies since 1995. Sachs says:

The war in Syria, and you may actually hear from grown-up reporters who are lying through their teeth or ignorant beyond imagining, ‘That, oh, the war in Syria, yes, Russia intervened in Syria.’ Well, do you know that Obama tasks the CIA to overthrow the Syrian government starting four years before Russia intervened?

What kind of nonsense is that, and how many times did the New York Times report on Operation Timber Sycamore? Which was the presidential order to the CIA to overthrow Bashar al-Assad? Three times in 10 years.

This is not democracy; this is a game, and it is a name of narrative. Why did the U.S. invade Iraq in 2003? First of all, it was completely phony pretense. It wasn’t, ‘Oh, we were so wrong they didn’t have weapons of mass destruction.’ They actually did focus groups in the fall of 2002 to find out what would sell that war to the American people. Abe (Abram) Shulsky if you want to know the name of the PR genius.

They did focus groups on the war. They wanted the war all the time. They had to figure out how to sell the war to the American people. How to scare the sh*t out of the American people. It was a phony war. Where did that war come from? You know what it’s quite surprising; that war came from Netanyahu, actually.

You know that it’s weird and the way it is is that Netanyahu had from 1995 onward the theory that the only way we’re going to get rid of Hamas and Hezbollah is by toppling the governments that support them. That’s Iraq, Syria and Iran. And the guy is nothing if not obsessive and he’s still trying to get us to fight Iran this day, this week. He’s a deep dark son of a b*tch, sorry to tell you.

He has gotten us into endless wars and because of the power of all of this in U.S. politics. He’s gotten his way, but that war is totally phony. So what is this democracy versus dictatorship? Come on, these are not even sensible terms.

What do you think about this? Saippuakauppias ⇄ 01:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

I think this page is quite long and there's not much point in adding very specific analyses of Netanyahu and US foreign policy, unless Sachs' analysis received unique coverage or if very similar analysis is focused on often when talking about Netanyahu, which afaik it isn't. Totalstgamer (talk) 10:39, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

It reached unique coverage, as Bibi subsequently decided to skip the January 20 inauguration ceremony. Is that good enough? Saippuakauppias ⇄ 22:57, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Its one source referring to the event while talking about another event. I honestly don't think its enough. Totalstgamer (talk) 20:17, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
