ALT3: ... that Crossing a Line is an ethnography about Palestinian political expression in Israel and the occupied territories? Makeandtoss (talk) 13:18, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, Makeandtoss. I don't think that just stating the topic of the book is enough to make a hook interesting. I've added a couple of ALTs above. Take a look when you have a chance? ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 21:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ِALT2 is more interesting so that should work.
