The New York Times accused of publishing a crossword puzzle on Hanukkah looking like a Nazi swastika

Disgusting! Only the New York Times would get Chanukah going with this is the crossword puzzle. Imagine what they would do to someone who did this and was not ideologically aligned with them? I’ll give them the same benefit of the doubt they would give those people… EXACTLY ZERO pic.twitter.com/eZHr0SQbT4

I’m just saying, if my entire job was editing the crossword of the New York Times, I would make extra sure I don’t accidentally publish a fucking swastika a second time. Perhaps extra so on the first day of Hanukkah during a year of rising antisemitism.

I'm not blind here – that's a 45° tilted swastika in the NYT crossword. On this first day of Chanukah.
Y'all couldn't have thought of any other design? #nytcrossword pic.twitter.com/LFcuEXT6ct
