Moshe Shaked[edit]

What about Moshe Shaked and his contributions to the city? he practicaly built Natanya. LyTe 12:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping that your encyclopedia stays out of politics and name calling. Under "Netanya" I found nothing on its origin and it was portrayed as a victim of Palestinian "terror". A lot of the land that Netanya is built on was illegally confiscated from Palestinians farmers. I'm from a small town called "Kafr Sour" in the West Bank whose people used to own farms on what is now Netanya. As a matter of fact, the land used to be called "Kafr Sour's Forest" before it was Netanya. Regarding the terror, I didn't see anything about the on-going Israeli terror on the civilians of nearby Tulkarm even though it's a lot more in terms of body count. If you believe in the equality of human life, you should either report ALL terror against civilians or NON of it.

Netanya was never part of the city of Tulkarm or any Arab city or town. It seems rather a paradox that on the one hand Netanya was used as a farm, but on the other hand, was a forest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.68.95.65 (talk) 21:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Map of Israel?[edit]

I came to this article for the sole purpose of finding it on the map. Lo and behold, what do I not find? Where it is in Israel. This is a major city, how can it not be put on a map of Israel in the article? Can someone please fix this ASAP? Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie Say Shalom! 07:23, 7 April 2011 (UTC) Here's a non-free map to help our mapmaker get his/her bearings: [1]. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie Say Shalom! 07:44, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, added. Actually, the infobox used in this article can display map, I had only to type in the coordinates. --ElComandanteChe (talk) 22:05, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah much better now. Thanks! :) Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie Say Shalom! 22:31, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is Cincinnati, Ohio a sister city?[edit]

I live in Cincinnati, Oh, and today they announced a new sister city in India. While recounting the previous sister cities, they didn't mention Netanya, Israel, and it is not mentioned on the Cincinnati article either. As a result, we have an inconsistency between this article and the Cincinnati one. Checking the Cincinnati sister cities website (http://www.cincinnatisistercity.org/) they do not mention Netanya as a sister city. Please address this inconsistency. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.41.221 (talk) 02:16, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Sergeants affair[edit]

I am very surprised to see The Sergeants affair, credited as being the most significant single action that brought around the end of the British Mandate in Palestine^[1], is not mentioned in the Netanya article or in the Even Yehuda article. However one sees the event, murder or justified execution, it is undeniably important and should not be ignored in the history of Netanya/Even Yehuda. I hope that the omission is not an attempt to sanitize history. The Sergeants Grove is jointly maintained in a spirit of reconciliation to this day by the National Jewish Fund and the city council^[2]^[3].

I would welcome views (especially from the original author) before I add a few lines to either or both of the Netanya and Even Yehuda articles. I will, of course, try to use suitably neutral terminology as far as possible.

Supposed "literal meaning"[edit]

I've removed the "lit., "God gave"" since it's just inaccurate at best. נְתַנְיָה is a female form of נָתָן, which just means "he/it gave".

"God gave" seems to have been a disimprovement sometime over the originally claimed meaning "gift of God" added by user Yoninah (who did not list Hebrew as one of her spoken languages) in 2012. That in turn would have been a confusion with Elnathan (see here). — 84.163.105.13 (talk) 10:52, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Netanya → Natanya – the name presented in the article netanya is in english and not in italian. I'm adding a few evidences that support my claim. https://archivio.quirinale.it/discorsi-bookreader//discorsi/TOMO_PRIMO_1992_1995.html#page/448/mode/2up (ufficial president declaration) and the city in italian is well presented as Natanya in diverse ufficial places like treccani encyclopedia. Collpol123 (talk) 17:50, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Collpol123 This is enwiki not itwiki. Did you mean to make this request elsewhere? (t · c) buidhe 00:15, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Natanya is more commonly used in the daily language, similarly to other cites in Israel(as an example “Kfar saba”,instead of “kefar sava”)

this request seems to be for Italian but is also valid for English. 2001:268:98C1:1ED6:F56B:325F:8591:97DF (talk) 13:51, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The city's name is "Netanya". Any other usage is from people who do not know how to spell it correctly as the Hebrew Niqqud for the name is נְתַנְיָה. The sound of the first letter does not make an "a" sound. See also the official website. Gonnym (talk) 11:12, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Natanya is not more commonly used, as demonstrated by Ngrams, or usage on Haaretz (13,500 hits for Netanya, 38 for Natanya, several of which seem to be in comments under articles). Number 5 7 11:42, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
