The New York Times is being ripped by social media users for publishing what they deemed a swastika-shaped crossword puzzle on the first night of Hanukkah.
The fraught Sunday brain-teaser, titled “Some Theme’s Missing,” had been concocted by Washington, DC-based consulting manager Ryan McCarty, who has formulated 22 other puzzles for the paper.
“Thrilled to have my first Sunday puzzle in The Times! This grid features one of my favorite open middles that I’ve made as it pulls from a variety of subject areas,” McCarty gushed in a section of the paper titled Constructor Notes.

The ADL and ACLU Said no comment, because the New York Times is a partner of theirs.
Check out 88 down.
L
It’s even tilted correctly.
58 - Boxcars
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.

They are so smart and you as an unsophisticated peasant were not expected to spot it. They were just going to the break room and laugh at the dolts.
That is a swastica and it was done intentionally. The nyt must be closed, all its assets seized and redistributed.
You are a lunatic to see a swastika in that.
Look again at image above.
It is as clear as your decision not to see the swastika.
Free speech for me but not thee.
Sure.
Boxcars
Brandenburg Gate
Stormtrooper
Pink Floyd Wall
Given their track record and considering Mark Levin explaining how they denied the Holocaust, this was not unintentional
None are so blinds as those who will not see.
Maybe “Vision” needs his checked. That sure as heck IS a swastika. This is why the NYT is forbidden to be brought into my house and why I won’t even click on it online, lest they receive any benefit from it. It is nothing but antisemitic filth.
The NYT is disgustingly evil and so are those that defend it.
A swastika has flat plains of right angles. And this is coming from the NY Times. Get a grip lunatics.
Surprised 96 across isn’t “called Dachau and the like de-licing facilities until well into 1944” aka The Slimes.
really the only thing missing is “was 1937 Time Man of the Year” or “hosted the ‘36 Olympics”
