The burning of the nearly 1,000 year old Notre Dame Cathedral in France brought out some rather interesting responses on social media.
Perhaps the hottest “hot take” was from the left-wing rag “The Jewish Worker,” which suggested it was “white supremacy” to care about the “antisemitic” Notre Dame Cathedral being set ablaze:

Fuck that, I've seen more people tearing their shirts over this one European cathedral than the destruction of entire nations. If you care more about one historic church than an entire historic nation, it's clear why. https://t.co/Mhphff0dnV

The front entrance to Notre Dame was adorned with an antisemitic allusion but no you're right, I should weep for this devastating loss. pic.twitter.com/O9pt0ge2cg

The Jewish Worker later deleted the first tweet but made clear they still agree with everything they said (it was just “ill-timed”):
I'm going to delete the original tweet, not because I've changed my mind about the overall message, but because some have raised concerns about the instrumentalization of Syrian suffering to make a short-tempered, ill-timed point, and I respect that criticism.

Here was some of the reactions from Facebook:

BuzzFeed hilariously tried to claim that video was a “hoax”:
BuzzFeed lied about the reaction to the Notre Dame fire by claiming that a perfectly legitimate video showing respondents posting smiley emoticons in response to the blaze was a ‘hoax’.
It wasn’t a hoax.https://t.co/SWgpQ648S1

This is just a sample of comments in response to the Notre Dame fire posted at France 24 Arabic.

Instead of denouncing this vile rhetoric, BuzzFeed is claiming I made it up.

Everything which runs contrary to their egalitarian worldview is fake and must be censored.
