Talk:Ron Dermer

This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Untitled

This article appears to be an almost exact copy (90% of its sentences word-for-word) of the bio of Ron Dermer on the Israeli Embassy web page, http://www.israelemb.org/bios/Ron_Dermer.html.

That article is listed as copyrighted by the Embassy. Is this a violation of some kind? Should it at least cite the Embassy's web page?

Missing Bio Data

This article leaves out Mr. Dermer's political activities in the U.S. before he moved to Israel. Many credible sources refer to his connections to the Republican party and his working on Newt Gingrich's Contract for America. A section should be added on these experiences.Conscientia (talk) 16:12, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

His connections to Gingrich affect the way he does his current job. Here's a story in the NYT that mentions it in passing. But there are lots of sources. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/12/books/review/michael-b-orens-ally-my-journey-across-the-american-israeli-divide.html "After the maladroit Israeli ambassador Ron Dermer (a protégé of the former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who himself dismissed the Palestinians as an “invented” people in 2011) arranged with Speaker John Boehner for Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress in March without informing the Obama administration, dozens of Democratic lawmakers decided to boycott the speech." --Nbauman (talk) 16:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Still living in Israel?

The last sentence of the article provides info on Mr. Dermer's spouse, their kids and then says "They," which presumably includes Mr. Dermer himself. Does the Israeli Ambassador to the US really living in Jerusalem? Does he commute to D.C.? Is he living here at the embassy and "they" meaning wife and kids are still in Jerusalem. If so, article isn't clear. Ileanadu (talk) 22:44, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Adi Blumberg cause of death

How did Adi Blumberg die? Accident? Natural causes? Violent crime? Dying at 29 years old is certainly unusual, so I think it would be good for the article to include this.--Westwind273 (talk) 06:19, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Sourcing concern

These two sentences make assertions that one would expect to be sourced, but they are not. "The SPLC encouraged Dermer to decline the award because it "not only further legitimizes this organization, but could be read as an endorsement of anti-Muslim hate by the Israeli government." The SPLC has since been highly criticized for its defense of far left and racist organizations, running contrary to the founding principles it claims to represent." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Galutnik (talk • contribs) 02:19, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
