Twitter Storm: Can You Share "What is Palestine?"

On Friday January 10, 2020, on Jeopardy!, Katie Needle correctly answered the clue “Built in the 300s A.D., the Church of the Nativity” with “What is Palestine?” But host Alex Trebek responded “nope” and instead told Jack McGuire, who answered, “What is Israel?” that his response was correct—but IT WAS NOT
