Talk:Ramat Gan

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

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

Budhist temple?
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)

The Elephant in the Room
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)

Hyksos?
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.).' .'" 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)
