Palestinian rights activists and advocacy groups are calling on"Jeopardy!" to apologize after stating that the Church of the Nativity is in Israel and not the Palestinian territories.
The controversy erupted during Friday evening's episode, which included the category"Where's that Church?"A $200 clue stated:"Built in the 300s A.D., the Church of the Nativity."Contestant Katie Needle quickly buzzed in, answering"What is Palestine?"Host Alex Trebek responded,"no."Read MoreCompetitor Jack McGuire then buzzed in, answering:"What is Israel?"His answer was deemed correct.
— CODEPINK January 11, 2020 The exchange didn't slow the show's pace, but did hit a sore spot with viewers familiar with the Middle East's geography and political turmoil.The church, built over the grotto where Christians believe Jesus was born, is in Bethlehem, a city in the Palestinian territories. Israel controls the territories through a network of military checkpoints and Jewish settlements, which are considered illegal under international law.
Fuck them
Lol
Nope. Don’t you have some scarves to wash or head wraps to tie.
Those terrorist supporters can suck it up
There is not a map in existence that had Israel on it prior to 1941, they didn’t exist!! It was all Palestine.
Just relax ppl
Last I checked there wasn’t a 2 state solution because Hamas would rather kill than negotiate 🤷🏻♂️
Code Pink, the same ultra left org that defended Maduro after killing Venezuelan protesters in 2018, talking about human rights. hipocrisy
Jeopardy should tell em “go pound sand”.
I was a little shocked that, after the break, the judges hadn't credited the original answer. So it wasn't just me.
I called Alex Trebek. Turns out you have to be a sovereign country and not sponsor terrorism to challenge a question on Jeopardy. Sorry but rules are rules. As a consolation prize you may have your youth throw rocks at Israeli tanks.
That is really wrong Jeopardy. You know there are Christians who are Palestinians, right?
When did this world become so pussified. Like Jeopardy is out to get anybody. Is that all people have to do is live their life waiting on an apology. For gods sake. Don’t you have stuff to do to get ready for work on Monday? Lord!!!!!!!!
IranianProtesters being shot! Please dont fail to report this serious human rights tragedy. IranProtests2020 IranProtests
We do not recognize the terrorist construct which self-designates as “Palestine”. We do not recognize HAMAS as anything other than an occupying force in the region, and an offshoot of EGYPTIAN Muslim Brotherhood. Here we are, 5k years later, and Egyptians are chasing Jews..smh!
Why give this any credibility by reporting it? Oh, that’s right.....cuz you like promoting nonsense like this
Now that was quite an inflammatory question for Jeopardy I guess Israel churchofthenativity
hemantmehta this isnt really in your wheelhouse of news but i thought it might interest you since you got a spot on the show
Fuck them
Palestinian is not a real place.
Seriously 😳
Stupid
What's a Palestine?
If they can’t agree who’s land it is by default it goes back into the earth
1. Arabs - Muslims invaded the land of the Jews after the rise of Islam. Islamic expansion was an Arab colonialism project which we still suffer some consequences not only in ME but even India etc 2. Jesus was a Jew 3. Revisionist history of the Lefties should be always exposed
The producer has to be fired
Boo hoo. Everybody is always butt hurt about something.
There is no Palestine.
As soon as I heard the answer, I knew Jeopardy was wrong. They should have given the contestant credit for his answer.
There is no country of palestine and there never was.
I’m sick of this world we live in😔
Actually who cares. Maybe wrong, maybe not. Are people really going to lose sleep over a game show question? If so get a life.
All I know is that when God was handing out the 'promised Land', he did a s**ty job. Had he not seen Tahiti? Hawaii?
There is NO country called Palestine.
Checked again...still no Palestine....
Before 1948, there were no Israel .. it is all fake terror state created by UK and supported by US. Palestine was and still is the real state with Jerusalem it’s capital.
Fact- it is in Israel!
