'Jeopardy' Question About Israel-Palestine Sends Liberals Over The Edge

"The hostility can even been seen in things as trite as a game show question." . . .

“Jeopardy!” has received a wave of backlash on social media after a contestant answered a question about where Bethlehem was located by saying Palestine and not Israel.The question was specifically about where the Church of the Nativity is located. During an episode of the show that aired last week, a contestant selected the “Where’s that church” category, which provided contestants with the clue: “Built in the 300s AD, the Church of the Nativity.”   Contestant Katie Needle buzzed in with Palestine as the answer shortly after host Alex Trebek read the clue. However, she was told her answer was wrong and was penalized with a $200 deduction from her overall cash score.Another contestant, Jack McGuire, then answered, “What is Israel?”“That’s it,” Trebek told McGuire as the contestant was awarded $200.

"So in what country is Bethlehem located?
"Sadly, the birth-country of the Israelite, Jesus, is now considered questionable regardless of how ridiculous it seems." . . .
