Probably innocent. I doubt Will Shortz is an anti-Semite. If the puzzle creator did this deliberately, he’d know that he would never get another puzzle published anywhere, except in some Nazi publication. Why would he do that?
Everything done by the mainstream is calculated. What even more interesting the family who owns the paper is Jewish, the Sulzberger family. Nothing is what it seems and you must question everything. Trust nothing.

What was has been lost. What is seems to scream evil. Happy Festivus seems more appropriate. The insults from our arrogant journalistic cabal require a response, like maybe stop reading a paper that insults it’s paying customers?
So I have a New York Times puzzle account, and I was curious. I don't know what they use to design the grid, but this one and the one before they designed a quarter of the grid and then just kept turning it 90 degrees to fill the other three quarters of the puzzle. That was this one and the Sunday puzzle for December 11th. I looked back four weeks before that, and each Sunday the top half of the grid and the bottom half were mirrors of each other, so whatever they used to design the grid, they just designed the top and then flipped it to finish the puzzle. I didn't go back further than that.
A swastika is simply one quarter repeatedly turned ninety degrees until a larger square emerges out of the repeating quarter. (You do this all the time in quilting with a lot of patterns.)
That's a long way to saying this is probably a mistake, and I say this for two reasons: (1) it's just way too obvious for those who know what a swastika is, and (2) many people don't know what a swastika is (and to be fair, the Nazis coopted it--it was a benign religious symbol before they got their genocidal hands on it). I would suggest that a chunk of millennials and zoomers have no idea what that symbol represents for certain groups. We don't teach that history in school. We're much more into "critical race theory" and the teaching of "noose" history than "swastika" history, and this lack of knowledge is a result of the zero-sum game of "victimhood." Some victims are going to win out and others are going to become invisible. *shrug* That's what happens, you know, when you get caught up in that mindset.
But having said all that, the New York Times is absolutely wonderful at twisting things and ruining lives (remember the scientist that lost his job for daring to be the wrong skin color and utter the n-word to explain what it meant? Yeah, me too.). So I say, "Karma's a bitch."
A picture truly does speak a thousand words. The Nazis have been broadcasting that they still live amongst us, and will continue their atrocities unless they are stopped by human or divine intervention.
Portmanteau=suitcase. Occupy as a booth=feast of booths. Loch=lock (hair). Peevish AND peevish display. White teeth=dentures. Boxcar. Bunk=bunk. I'm in heaven (twice). Sand, silt and clay=loam (for making bricks). Earthenware etc.=firepot (!!!).
Sith shows up in Ezekiel 35:6, see Darth Sidious in the puzzle. Apparently that’s what he was. I confess that I have almost zero interest in anything Star Wars...Then read that passage in the Bible. This is a rabbit hole that may take all freaking day!
They employed 30,000 prisoners from Auschwitz. They were also involved in providing chemicals for the camps. I’d say this is not a joke. Some sort of message, maybe Ukrainian Diaspora involved. Be careful where you go in NY.
I did the whole puzzle in the print edition without noticing. Now you might be saying that’s because I’m an idiot, and you might have a point, but I don’t think I’m significantly more idiotic than the Times editors (especially the lazy puzzle editor). So if I failed to see it, why couldn’t they?
On an independent NYT crossword puzzle blog, the highly woke blogger (also definitely an idiot) didn’t see it, though some of the commenters did.
Obviously a mistake – by an organization that would gladly pounce on anyone politically disfavored who did something similar. Be better than them!
This is not an accident.
That must have taken a *lot* of effort to get the sides to line up so perfectly. I struggle to see how it could be anything but deliberate.
Here is a clue for those who can’t see..
“Knock, Knock”
“Who’s there”
***SMACK***
“VEEE VILL ASK ZEE QVESTIONS”
They're showing their solidarity with Ukraine and Zelensky...just sayin...
Clearly their lack of editorial integrity extends to their crossword page. Disgusting.
67 Across "Joke that goes over the line"
Probably way over
I believe NYC has the largest community of Jews ANYWHERE - more than Jerusalem, or any city in Israel..
Happy Hanukkah!
It took me a while to see it -- and then I did.
Guide for the Perplexed: Look close at the puzzle itself and not the clues.
Every day offers more proof we're in some kind of farcical simulation.....
Not the puzzle! That's the ONLY good thing coming out of the NY Times.
Which begs the question: intentional or an oversight?
NYT readers: "Please poke us in the eye some more!"

Very very interesting.

NY Times is anti-Israel, not pro-Israel. It's a typical left-wing rang.
Wow, that’s weird. Esp since so many Jews are liberal Dumocrats....
Is that real or fake?
The times was hijacked by a far right nationalist, who printed it without anyone noticing.
Fixed.

Cripes!
7 Down is "Syd" :)
Impossible for this to be a coincidence
Under the design of the puzzle we have
#38 “Boxcars”.
once you see it, you cannot un-see it
true for so many things that happened last 3Y
God made us free and we shall be. F**k the nazis

it's the special "support Ukraine" edition
In 1386, 8000 Jews died in what is now Toledo, Spain, in the siege of Henry of Trastamara. This is all strictly coincidental.
I had no idea a MAGA group ran the NY Times
OMG.
Did you see Boxcars?
A picture truly does speak a thousand words. The Nazis have been broadcasting that they still live amongst us, and will continue their atrocities unless they are stopped by human or divine intervention.
If you subtract the NY Hotels, does anyone actually still read the NY Slimes?
You gotta be BLIND not to see it
That is fucking spiteful
lol wut?

So, are the Jews collaborating with the Nazis to form one world gov't? there's a rabbit hole for you!
Holy sh-t, lmao. Hitler lives within the NYT and he likely wants you to get another booster.
Toletum, established by a group of Jewish travelers 5th Century BC. See El Greco’s painting “View of Toledo”. It is in the Metro Museum of Art, NYC.
No fucken way...😖😖

Answer RPI, located in the US home of Bayer... I guess I could keep going but I think there is a Nazi involved and there is no coincidence
