New York Times faces backlash after crossword puzzle published on Hanukkah shaped like a swastika
NY Times ^

Posted on 12/19/2022 2:58:41 AM PST by qwerty1234

Donald Trump Jr. was among hundreds of New York Times readers who slammed the newspaper for their crossword puzzle on Sunday - which many noticed bore an uncanny resemblance to a Nazi swastika. The puzzle's silhouette has caused a stir on social media, with several prominent Jewish leaders and political figures taking to social media to voice their outrage - especially since it was published on the first night of Hanukkah.

Considering what I’ve read about the way the NYT tepidly acknowledged the Holocaust on its front page (only 26 times out of thousands and thousands of front pages), it’s about par for the course.

58 - Boxcars — you made me look

60 - Brandenburg Gate, the entrance to the Reichstag

88 - Group led by Darth Sideous ( the Emporer in Star Wars) — the cross word is too low resolution to see if this fits, but my first answer would be “stormtroopers”.

7 down is a reference to Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd. Their wall concerts were openly antisemitic, with the fascists of the “wall” being adorned with Stars of David and a Hitleresque fascist leader — with Roger Waters being a open antisemite and hater of Israel.

Lots of various references to Islam throughout.

Not a chance any of this was accidental.

It's even worse than that; e.g. check how 56 across is located in relationship to 58:

Welcome sights on road trips
"Boxcars"

On open display there is the Amalekite "sense" of humor.

Interestingly enough, the context is a game of guessing the right words/letters, kind of like HANGMAN. On 11/28 is post 36 (nice numeric link-up) regarding the name of the game as per HAMAN.

Well, as long as these vile jokers want to play a little word game, this came out of the New York Times,

and the simple definition of NY times that everyone knows is a New York Minute.

It's what Clark Griswold said about the squirrel... "Gone!"

So from here, in all sincerity and love,

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Chanukah!

Typical of leftists who relish demonstrating their superiority over others by insulting them.

It’s become an increasingly common tactic. Don’t like a movie put out by Hollywood? There is no introspection that the movie might be bad, instead the MSM press labels movie goers racist or homophobes.

The Left not only routinely practices bad behavior, it now prohibits criticism of the behavior, attempting to reverse the roles and present itself as the victim

I can see it now but it didn’t “jump off the page” at me. I’m not sure it was intentional. But if it was, then the NYT missed it. The little description of the puzzle creator says he started in the middle and worked outward. Could that have been responsible for the shape?

It was the White Nationalist Right-Winger Republican MAGA’s at the NYT that did it.

Oh look, I made a funny

These ‘people’, if you can even call them that, are just EVIL, demonic even, servants of Satan. I’d say “sick” too, but will no longer allow them that excuse. Evil through & through.

I guess the New York Times is a member of the “far right”.
Throwing it back at them…

Interesting that the leftists condemn the Confederate battle flag and the Nazi flag, but the Japanese Meat Ball and Rising Sun flags are still flown high.
THEY are the ones that got the US into that mess on Dec7,1941.
