The New York Times<\/a> published a crossword puzzle on Sunday, the first day of the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, that many readers thought was shaped like a Nazi Swastika.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No one involved with the puzzle seemed to notice. In a Times column about the Sunday crossword, Caitlin Lovinger wrote, “I love the geometry in this puzzle \u2014 so many stair steps! \u2014 and feel that it contributes to a certain evenness in the solve.” Ryan McCarty, the puzzle\u2019s constructor, described the design as a “fun whirlpool shape.”<\/p>\n

But The Times was criticized heavily on Twitter by people across the political spectrum for what they thought what was clear to see.<\/p>\n

“[W]hy is The New York Times’ crossword a swastika?” Daily Wire senior writer Ryan Saavedra asked in a tweet.<\/p>\n

Keith Edwards, a Democratic strategist and Lincoln Project<\/a> alum, tweeted, “This is the NYTimes crossword puzzle today on the first day of Hanukkah. What the hell, @nytimes?”<\/p>\n

“I personally believe swastikas shouldn\u2019t appear in the New York Times, intentionally or otherwise. Didn\u2019t think that would be a controversial take,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“I know that the @nytimes crossword wasn\u2019t intentionally laid out as a swastika so I guess the sin here is bad editing. How did this get approved without somebody noticing?” Sam Sokol, a reporter at Haaretz.com, tweeted.<\/p>\n

“Today\u2019s New York Times crossword is um\u2026making me nervous,” Jewish Journal columnist Blake Flayton tweeted.<\/p>\n

Sara Luterman, a reporter with the left-wing 19th News, asked, “Is it just me or does the @nytimes crossword look kind of swastika-y today?”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s the first night of Hanukkah, so the NYT gives us a swastika crossword puzzle\u2026,” Aaron Lavinsky, a photojournalist with the Star Tribune, tweeted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Intentional swastika or not, the fact that the @nytimes @NYTGames\u00a0would have a staff so insensitive to not catch it, is worthy of discussion & action. This is not getting the attention it deserves. #NeverAgain,” said former Obama and Biden fundraiser Eric Ortner.<\/p>\n

Kalman Yeger, a Democratic City Councilman who represents Borough Park, a predominantly Jewish area in Brooklyn, tweeted, “A hidden Happy Chanukah message in today’s @nytimes crossword?”<\/p>\n

Brian Robinson, a former New York Congressional candidate, tweeted ,”I know the @nytimes is not, how do I say it, the friendliness paper to Jewish folk (outside of the nutty far left self haters), but this subliminal crossword puzzle is NEXT LEVEL.”<\/p>\n

On the same weekend the Times published the disturbing crossword puzzle, its editorial board published a piece slamming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an extremist and warning that Israeli democracy is at risk. They described the incoming leader’s return to power as “a significant threat to the future of Israel \u2014 its direction, its security and even the idea of a Jewish homeland.”<\/p>\n
