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?

In 1976, Netanyahu graduated near the top of his class at the MIT Sloan School of Management. -> replace this source with this source (2, source 46 in the article).

Rationale: source 1 does not have the cited information. Source 2 does. 2600:6C44:117F:95BE:BDFD:4CD3:6B69:33F1 (talk) 07:52, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

 Removed instead. Source 2 does not confirm graduation or marks, but source 1 is ambiguous on what and where. Sentence is partially redundant anyway. Alpha3031 (t • c) 07:04, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Alpha3031 a quote from source 2: "Without breaking stride, Mr. Netanyahu, known to his friends as Bibi, went on to his studies at the Sloan School, co-authoring a nearly 100-page thesis and earning the SM in management in May, 1976." SM is Master of Science in Latin. "Near the top of his class" is unsourced. 2600:6C44:117F:95BE:712D:9586:53F9:76BC (talk) 04:56, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

I added this source and another source.Rainsage (talk) 02:45, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

His October 2015 comments on the Holocaust

At Benjamin_Netanyahu#Fourth_term, there is a paragraph on this. There is a discussion at Talk:Holocaust_denial#Extended-confirmed-protected_edit_request_on_2_December_2024 if this issue should be mentioned in the Holocaust denial article. If you have an opinion, please comment there. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 04:46, 3 December 2024 (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)
