Grammar improvement
editYou said: "him for imprisoning journalists in a tweet". Surely, that should read: "him in a tweet for imprisoning journalists"

Change ..."raised in Jerusalem and Philadelphia..." to "...raised in Philadelphia..".
One cannot be raised in two different places halfway across the world in the first 19 years of their life. He was raised in Philadelphia before going to Tel Aviv to join the IDF.
Also please site the reference for his birthplace. There is no objective evidence showing he was born in Tel Aviv. 45.48.132.107 (talk) 07:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Suspected war criminal currently at large
edit- Definitely should not be included in the first sentence even if were an actual warrant as opposed to a warrant request. Closhund/talk/ 13:22, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah maybe first paragraph. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 20:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- hes a war criminal 2607:FEA8:D61:E800:B5D2:FDA5:212B:AE26 (talk) 02:44, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- My reply was to a user trying to suggest we add a statement to the lead sentence. The current talk page does not reflect what was discussed. Closhund/talk/ 05:04, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah maybe first paragraph. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 20:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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.

There is an error in redaction at the beginning of second lead paragraph. Second sentence in paragraph should read (changes in bold):
He returned to Israel in 1967 to join the Israel Defense Forces and served in the Sayeret Matkal special forces as a captain before being honorably discharged.
Could somebody please change it? Thanks--2800:2503:4:DEA7:1:0:C9BA:5F63 (talk) 23:39, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
His real name is Mileikowsky ?
editWhen i do Google search his name was coming as Mileikowsky (Polish Name) Ricky.martin2786 (talk) 20:24, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- His father's name was Mileikowski: he changed it. It's not Netanyahu's "real name." It's covered in the article. Acroterion (talk) 21:04, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
