Genocide perpetrators category
Since the Gaza genocide page now identifies the genocide as fact rather than allegations, shouldn't Netanyahu be added to the category like with Uyghur genocide perpetrator Chen Quanguo? JPHC2003 (talk) 00:58, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
- That category is reserved to those who have actually committed genocide, i.e. rebel leaders or army generals. Netanyahu is a head of state. Aesurias (talk) 06:17, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
- He is the head of state of a “nation” that is actively committing a genocide, no different to a rebel leader 2405:6E00:2624:D2CC:72:D715:B788:BEAD (talk) 04:23, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- I'm unsure why you would say that because it's categorically untrue. The point about the rebel leader is that they are actively participating as part of a militia (or rebel group). Netanyahu is a democratically-elected (albeit disliked) head of state, and while certain human rights groups have categorized the Gaza war as a genocide, others have said the opposite, and the ICJ proceedings will stretch on through to 2026.
- Even if they classified the Gaza War as a genocide, I doubt Netanyahu would be suitable for the list, though army generals would be. The list is full of people who organized and planned specific genocides and massacres, and that is not Netanyahu's area of expertise. Aesurias (talk) 04:43, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- Netanyahu has not been adjudicated by any national or international body to be responsible for a genocide(a war crime); the ICC wants to try him, but needs someone to arrest him and hand him over(exceedingly unlikely). WP:BLP applies even to world leaders. 331dot (talk) 08:25, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- Just to add to this, he cant be written as accused or in fact until there is a charge and conviction, per BLP rules. The ICC charges do not include genocide. This is like saying someone is accused of murder or is a murderer when they are only charged with assault. ←Metallurgist (talk) 05:11, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. PM of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu has NOT had an arrest warrant for "genocide". ~2025-41521-48 (talk) 04:30, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

- Support, there is international consensus that Netanyahu is committing genocide. NeoSyria\Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 20:07, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
Benjamin Netanyahu: Blood Cancer Claim
Recently, it was falsely reported that Netanyahu had been diagnosed with serious blood cancer and later reported that he unfortunately does not have it. PM health update: No cancer, pacemaker working, battling infection | The Jerusalem Post Yehoshua667 (talk) 23:30, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
- According to that article, Netanyahu's only outstanding health problem is a urinary tract infection. He does not suffer from hypertension. Dimadick (talk) 15:09, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
Edit request 1 March 2026: Do not mention Harvard in the infobox
The infobox currently lists Harvard University as part of Netanyahu’s education, but this overemphasizes the affiliation. He was not enrolled as a degree-seeking student at Harvard; rather, he attended a limited number of courses made available through the MIT/Harvard collaboration. Such brief and non-degree participation does not constitute a substantive academic association. Given the minor and incidental nature of this connection, including Harvard in the infobox overstates its significance and should be removed. Ramanujaner (talk) 09:33, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

PM Netanyahu has reportedly died from a middle strike to his office he lived from 1949 to 2026 making him 77 at death so change his ~ X to 2026 Y as he has passed ~2026-13449-80 (talk) 14:42, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Give him the social media labelled nickname "Big Yahu" as part of the page Rjone01 (talk) 23:47, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
