Jeopardy! apologizes for telling the truth about the location of the Church of the Nativity

Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem

Jihad Watch : And how very instructive it is that loads of Westerners go out of their way not to offend the Islamic world but when has the Islamic world ever gone out of its way not to offend the non-Islamic world? “Cringing dhimmitude” yet again as you stated.

Jihad Watch : Jesus was, of course, Jewish. He was born in Bethlehem of Judea. The Church of the Nativity was built on the site believed to be where he was born. The Romans didn’t rename Judea “Palestine” until 134 AD, long after Jesus was born. The Jeopardy question seems to have been about where the Church of the Nativity is located.

Bethlehem is in what is generally believed to be “occupied” “Palestinian” territory, but in reality there never has been a State of Palestine, and it never had a territory that could be occupied. Bethlehem was included in the British Mandate for Palestine, set aside for a Jewish National Home.

Therefore only Israel has any right to that land. This is all about the jihad against Israel, not about “occupation,” as is clear from the fact that there was no outcry about “occupation” when Egypt occupied Gaza and Jordan occupied Judea and Samaria from 1948 to 1967.

Addresses Controversial Bethlehem Question Amid Backlash: ‘We Regret the Error,'” by Gabrielle Chung, People, January 14, 2020:

The producers of Jeopardy! are setting the record straight about a contentious question that aired during Friday’s episode, in which it seemingly deemed that Bethlehem is located in Israel and not Palestine in its answer. The controversy began when contestant Katie Needle responded to a question under the “Where’s That Church?” category. When prompted by a clue about the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, where Christians believe to be the birthplace of Jesus, she answered Palestine — which host Alex Trebek said was incorrect.

Fellow contestant Jack McGuire was rewarded with $200 for buzzing in with the answer of Israel moments later, causing an uproar among Palestinian rights advocacy groups online. Bethlehem is geographically located in Palestine, but sits on a territory currently occupied by Israel in the West Bank. On Monday, producers released a statement to Deadline to explain the gaff, attributing the broadcast of the question to “human error in post-production.”

“In the process of taping this clue, ‘BUILT IN THE 300s A.D., THE CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY’ we became aware that the clue was flawed as written and that determining an acceptable response would be problematic,” the statement read. “In accordance with our rules and in the interest of fairness, we voided the clue and threw it out. We restored Katie’s and Jack’s scores to what they were prior to the clue. The outcome of the game was not affected.”

“Unfortunately, through human error in post-production, the uncorrected version of the game was broadcast,” the producers said. “We regret the error and we will make every effort to ensure this never happens again.”

Jeopardy! since also released a video of what should’ve replaced the question, which featured a clue about the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico….
