Does Travel+Leisure ‘5 Things To Do In Jerusalem’ Video Contain Subtle Bias?

Travel+Leisure have posted this short video on Jerusalem.

https://www.facebook.com/travelandleisure/videos/10154837343224073/

Nice video but there’s a big but and I cannot lie..

The Jewish Quarter is mentioned only third here, despite the fact Jerusalem is capital of the Jewish state (and look at which one is mentioned first).

travel-leisure-1

Ok, maybe in isolation that is a minor quibble but..

travel-leisure-2

No mention of any Jewish sacred site? (and again, notice which religion is mentioned first and represented twice)

Then again, at least they do acknowledge there was a Jewish Temple here.

travel-leisure-3

And a longstanding Jewish presence.

So either I have grown overly cynical after years of discovering and fighting bias against Israel, or I am on to something, with Travel+Leisure perhaps not wanting to antagonize certain people.
