Yesterday’s puzzle in the Times (link no longer available) by Sam Buchbinder, edited by Will Shortz:

26 Down, 5 letters: “Israel’s _____ Heights”

The (in)correct answer is visible at the left hand side of Emily Hoffman’s completed grid. Thanks to Alex Kane.

oh my. Does Israel’s ‘state archivist’ approve?

(It’s creepy and funny at the same time! Entirely nefarious, though. This is how history gets altered in the NYT)

can some one fill me in on this?

Trying to understand or follow the link and understand I end up with this:

{“status”:”ERROR”,”errors”:[“Not Found”],”results”:[]}

OK, beyond this how can: “Israeli _hights” be answered by GETUPTHECOURAGE if I add correctly on what looks the result of question 26.

Hmm: What’s 7 letters and begins with Z?, guess I got everything wrong.

Back to Harlan Carvey.

26 down, not across.

Crown ?

Yes quite the Israeli Golan Heights.
Or are you suggesting they are not ours ?
