    A clue on "Jeopardy!" sparked protests from viewers about the location of a world-famous church in Bethlehem.

    Host Alex Trebek read off a clue for $200 from the category "Where's that church?" that read: "Built in the 300s A.D., the Church of the Nativity."

    The first contestant to buzz in, Katie Needle, responded: "What is Palestine?" but Trebek rejected her answer, saying, "No."

    Another contestant, Jack McGuire, buzzed in with the reply, "What is Israel?" Trebek ruled him correct....



    ...Furious viewers took to Twitter to chastize Trebek and demand an apology from the show.

    Omar Baddar, the deputy director of the non-profit Arab American Institute, decried that Needle was "robbed" and called Trebek's ruling "unacceptable!"...


    ...The grassroots group Code Pink launched a petition after Friday's episode demanding that the show apologize "for your politically dangerous inaccuracy."


    Representatives for "Jeopardy!" did not immediately respond to Fox News' requests for comment.

    'Jeopardy!' Question About Israel Went Viral, Now They Say It Was a Mistake

    'Jeopardy!' Question About Israel Went Viral, Now They Say It Was a Mistake | CBN News

    JERUSALEM, Israel – "Jeopardy!" drew backlash on Friday over a question about the exact location of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.

    Now the show producers say it was all a mistake....



    ..."Jeopardy!" said on Monday that it decided to throw out the clue about the Church of the Nativity during taping but the uncorrected version accidentally aired.

    "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. In accordance with our rules and in the interest of fairness, we voided the clue and threw it out," "Jeopardy" said in a statement.

    "Unfortunately, through human error in post-production, the uncorrected version of the game was broadcast. We regret the error, and we will make every effort to ensure this never happens again," the statement on the show's website said.

    Biblically, Bethlehem is a town located in Judea and Samaria.

    Today, it is considered to be located in "Area A" of the West Bank. Area A is solely administered by the Palestinian Authority. Area B is administered by both Israel and the PA, and Area C is solely administered by Israel.
