QPQ: Done.

Overall: QPQ not required. Everything else is fine (including copyright; can't seem to get rid of that question mark). While I have some other copy-editing concerns with the article–none of which preclude this article from DYK–the phrasing of your hook is somewhat vague and questionable from an NPOV perspective. Might I suggest only adjusting it to read "... that The Occupation of the American Mind sought to show how Israeli attacks on Palestinians provoked widespread protests around the world, while the United States remained steadfast in its support for Israel?"

Thank you Pbritti. I altered the hook to what you suggested.Ghazaalch (talk) 07:54, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, looks great. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:10, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pbritti, did you mean to use {{subst:DYKtick}}/{{subst:DYKtickAGF}}? Pamzeis (talk) 05:46, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pamzeis, yes, sorry.
