By Josefin Dolsten/(JTA) – HuffPost chose a questionable headline for its article about White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon leaving his position.

“Goy, bye!” read the homepage of the news site. The unusual choice of words was a combination of the Yiddish word for a non-Jew and a lyric in Beyonce’s “Lemonade” song in which the singer dismisses a lover with “boy, bye.” That combination struck a bad note with several prominent Jews who called out HuffPost Editor-in-Chief Lydia Polgreen on Twitter. ADL’s national director, Jonathan Greenblatt, said the headline was “poor taste at best, very offensive at worst.” John Podhoretz, editor-in-chief of Commentary, called the headline “witless, stupid and offensive,” while The Jerusalem Post’s Washington bureau chief, Michael Wilner, asked “What is HuffPost thinking?”

In a series of tweets, Polgreen explained the headline “was intended to be a mashup tribute to Yiddish and Beyonce. Any other interpretation was completely unintended.” The headline, which has since been changed to “White flight,” likely struck many as particularly distasteful as it seemed to play off of conspiracy theories that Jews control the world.
