That's what settled me in Israel. It's interesting that I didn't get fat all these years with everything I ate. ' You also loved the sea. Yes, that was part of the satisfaction. Sea and hummus and tahini with olive oil. What did I stay for?" (translation is by Google Translate, but this sense is clarified in the article title.))
ALT1: ... that despite basketball playerBarry Leibowitz having been drafted by the New York Knicks and played a year in the ABA, he chose to play in Israel instead because of its sea, hummus, and tahini with olive oil? Source: This is the hook as suggested by the IP editor, but it's too long. My version above is trimmed, but there may be other ways of trimming it.
Comment: Nominated on behalf of an IP editor (see my talk page) who has also provided the QPQ. That said, I shall paste a note that this IP left on my talk page. Schwede66 23:40, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
"Note - I should perhaps point out that I have opened up a conversation with an editor who has to my surprise stripped RS-supported mention of Leibowitz from half a dozen articles today between 14:40 and 14:50 (see [1]). But while I've opened up discussion with the editor, I don't believe that impacts the DYK itself, as that editor has not as of yet sought to delete the same text from this article. --2603:7000:2101:AA00:6103:B31A:D0F4:8A0E (talk) 03:23, 27 February 2025 (UTC)"
