I do not believe it is neccesary to state that most of the population is Jewish. At any rate this statement can be seen as inflamatory — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.162.133.101 (talk • contribs) 23:50, 23 March 2006

I completely agree with you. Thanks for fixing that. Yevgeny Kats 00:35, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really fair to call Ramat Gan a suburban city? It contains a major university, the country's diamond exchange, Israel's tallest skyscraper, and the area's financial district as well as most of its skyscrapers. I'm replacing the beginning of the second sentence "The suburban city" with simply "It". Mathan 11:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathan (talk • contribs)

Don't you think that if certain cities are populated by many Jews of a specific background that it should be mentioned, if there is information on it. Someone could possibly say something about the Iraqi Jewish influence to much of Ramat Gan, and the same for other cities made up of a large amount of Jews from one place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.112.134.90 (talk • contribs) 23:48, 19 December 2006

Fair use rationale for Image:Ramatgan logo.jpg[edit]

Image:Ramatgan logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Budhist temple?[edit]

Can somebody provide a source that Ramat Gan has a Budhist temple? I've looked on the web in English and Hebrew and could not find anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.66.180.131 (talk) 19:25, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Elephant in the Room[edit]

Are we just not going to discuss anything about the Arab population who lived in this area for over a thousand years before "Ramat Gan" was created? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.182.201.13 (talk) 16:38, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hyksos?[edit]

The Bronze Age city (actually one level at the most) "has been identified as a fortified Hyksos city", quoted from Whalid Khalidi, All That Remains, p. 246. The use of the term regarding the city is at least problematic, if not outright wrong. Khalidi is not a reliable source for BA archaeology. How does the city qualify as "Hyksos" (Egyptian for "ruler(s) of foreign lands"), as opposed to "Canaanite"? True, something described in a IAA dig report as a "Hyksos tomb" was excavated in nearby Bnei Brak (see here), but many junior archaeologists make mistakes. See what I mean for instance here:

"The use of the term Hyksos (Egy. ḥkɜw Ḫɜswt) to refer to the Semitic population has created a misnomer, as these Canaanites were not "foreign rulers" in their homeland in southern Levant. Thus the term Hyksos should be reserved to refer exclusively to the rulers of Avaris in Egypt during the Fifteenth Dynasty (ca. 1640–1540 B.C.E.)."^[1]."

Maybe the tomb has been characterised as "Hyksos" to indicate that the grave goods are of a type known from Hyksos Egypt, and maybe there are characteristics typical of Egyptian material culture from the Fifteenth Dynasty, which one might for the sake of brevity call "Hyksos". But unless there is a reliable source characterising Tell Jerishe during the 17th-16th c. BCE as an Egyptian city (garrison town or whatever) with typical Egyptian-"Hyksos" findings, the term seems simply wrong. Arminden (talk) 08:42, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
