Template:Vital article

early life and career

This is a minor point but I believe Netanyahu's degrees at Sloan and MIT should be MS and not SM. In fact, he has Master of Science in Management from Sloan School, which is what other universities call Master in Business Administration, or MBA.

technically, MIT styles its degrees as Sc.B., Sc.M., and Sc.D. "scab scum and scud", as it were.

and MSM degrees are completely diff from MBA degrees! some schools have both.

in any case, the MIT one is a standard MBA. both in name and in letter order.

they also offer some variants, such as a Masters of Finance (MFin) and Masters of Business Analytics (MBAn), but i see no evidence of any MSM there. 2601:19C:527F:7890:150B:9833:C577:7330 (talk) 07:13, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

no mention of calls to jail journalists

why is there no criticism section for one of the top 5 most divisive and criticized political leaders of the last 50 years? This protected page reads like a straight up fluff piece, and there is no mention of any criticisms of this guy.

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2020-06-11/ty-article/.premium/netanyahu-says-journalist-should-be-jailed-for-airing-leaked-recordings-of-pm-crony/0000017f-e5de-dc7e-adff-f5ffc6e60000

that is an article published in Israel about the time he called for journalists to be jailed. His own party is looking to prosecute journalists currently, which makes me think it is relevant that he has expressed these types of abhorrent views before. I also think it is telling that the relatively short section of this article relating to Netanyahu's criminal activity is by far the most well sourced portion of this article, and significantly shorter than other portions of this article that only rely on 2 or 3 sources.

Proposed Main Section Expansion

The main section is a bit out of date, and also there's no mention of the Judical Reform having passed under the "Sixth Term" subsection. It could use an update like this:

"In his sxith term, Netanyahu championed the passage of highly controversial judicial reform, and responded the to 2023 Israel–Hamas war by forming an Israeli war cabinet." Noahop3000 (talk) 16:06, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sabena 571 Hijacking

This article on Netanyahu states that he was shot in the shoulder during the Sabena 571 hijacking; however, the Sabena 571 article states that he was shot in the bicep:

"...the rescue of the hijacked Sabena Flight 571 in May 1972, in which he was shot in the shoulder."

Hamas funding

There's no explicit discussion here of how he was funding Hamas to thwart the two state solution. This is discussed and cited elsewhere on Wikipedia

Not done. Please read the WP:NPOV and WP:BLP. Netanyahu has not been convicted of any crimes, and Wikipedia never describes any living person as a criminal without a conviction. Cullen328 (talk) 02:53, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated succession boxes

Isn't there anyone updating the succession boxes? He has been PM again for nearly 11 months, the Opposition Leader has been Lapid for the same amount of time. 140.213.44.244 (talk) 10:34, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Butcher of Gaza

as in other biographies of living persons, see Alexander Dvornikov, the inclusion of the moniker butcher of gaza should be included, the source to the moniker can be found here: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkeys-erdogan-says-israels-netanyahu-will-be-tried-war-criminal-2023-12-04/, if any coherence is left it should be included, or is it that we just demean people we don’t like?
