It's the first thing I thought of/seen before I even read a word from the OP's post. ARman | |||

It's strange. When I first look at it without thinking, I can see it VERY clearly! I mean so clearly it had to be intentional. But after that first look, it's a bit of a struggle to make it out.

I suspect that many folks at the NYT don't even know that Hanukkah has begun. And most here don't either. The point you were making was that the "swastika" appeared on the first day of Hanukkah, and that was a grievous error. Maybe insensitive, but not tragic. And I'm sure it was unintentional. Even the NYT is not that gross. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Totally agree it was unintentional. But had that same crossword puzzle appeared in say, the NY Post, Washington Examiner, or Wall St Journal, the NY Times would publish a special edition accusing those papers of a HATE CRIME and demanding special training for the editors. Heck, everyone! Plus Merritt Garland would bring in the FBI and then Biden would look at the teleprompter and condemn the papers. | |||

I wouldn't bet money on that statement. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Yes, exactly right, flashguy. That was essentially the point. I believe it was most likely unintentional as well; the timing for such an error though was certainly unfortunate. I simply found it curious and a bit amusing but not offensive. But then again I'm a Gentile. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

The NYT should say, "Yeah, it's a swastika. It was a good-luck sign until a bunch of genocidal progressives got a hold of it, and we're taking it back. Good Luck!" It's time - long past time - that we took control of that symbol and made it good again. But it's the NYT - if they were aware of it, they probably meant it the way the aforementioned genocidal progressives did. === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended.

I'm curious to how many times the NYT has used this same puzzle template without issue. Admittedly, it's bad timing. P229 | |||

That’s where I am…..I guess I don’t really see it. And I agree, intent should matter.

The author of the puzzle is Ryan McCarty. I don't know how it works, but it appears that the New York Times buys his puzzles to be put in their paper. This is McCarty's 23rd puzzle published in the Times and the first that he had published on Sunday. "Ryan McCarty, of Washington, D.C., is a principal consulting manager at a firm specializing in data/analytics for federal clients. He is also a baritone in multiple vocal ensembles. This is his 23rd crossword for The Times, and his first Sunday. All but one of these puzzles have been themeless, like today's. To construct it, Ryan started in the middle and built outward, weaving lots of fresh, lively vocabulary. Twenty of the answers have never appeared in a Times crossword before." "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. I had originally tried to make it work in a 15x15 grid, but then decided to expand the grid out to a Sunday-size puzzle with a fun whirlpool shape. Hope you enjoy!" https://www.xwordinfo.com/Crossword?date=12/18/2022 ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

I sent it to my Jewish friend with the tagline "Happy Hanukkah from the NYT." And he said: "Does that crossword look a little like a swastika to you? Or am I nuts?" The loony left uses mock outrage to paint everyone and everything they disagree with as "racist, authoritarian, domestic terrorist, etc." whenever they say or do anything that could remotely by interpreted in a bad light. Taking the high road and not playing the same game is noble, but what the left does actually works on a lot of people. And I agree 100% that if WSJ or NYP had this crossword it would be blown up in the media and social media. | |||

My father served in WW2 in Germany. He sent home a wooden crate full of stuff. A P38 a luger, a bunch of things. I had the swastika flag in my garage for 40 years. When my brother came to visit a couple weeks ago I gave it back to him to keep the collection intact. Probably worth some money but I'm not going to sell anything like that. | |||

That sure looks like a swastika | |||

No...I got the point. Its a nothing burger. You posting this foments the fake, made-up outrage people seem to thrive on. Trying to find every little hidden meaning to spread discontent. And don't tell us that wasn't your meaning...otherwise, why post this shit? _____________________________ Pledge allegiance or pack your bag!
