Jeopardy! attacked for saying Bethlehem is in Israel

The game show Jeopardy! took flak from critics after the answer to one of its questions said Bethlehem was in Israel.

One of the contestants first picked Palestine as the answer to the question “Where’s that Church?” with the clue “Built in the 300s A.D., the Church of the Nativity.” The church marking the birthplace of Jesus used to be Israel, but now the Palestinian Authority controls Bethlehem under agreements from Israel. The ambiguity of the answer was enough for liberal critics to come after the game show.
