    Police secure the area near the screened-off facade of the Bataclan Cafe and its adjoining concert hall the day after a series of deadly attacks in Paris, France, November 14, 2014. REUTERS/Benoit Tessier Paris – Bataclan Theater in Paris, the concert hall where most of the bloodshed was seen on Saturday as 82 out of a total of more than 129 people were murdered in six coordinated attacks claimed by Islamic State (ISIS), was owned by Jews.

    The French magazine Le Point reported on Saturday that a member of the radical group Army of Islam told French security services back in 2011 that “we had planned an attack against the Bataclan because its owners are Jewish.”

    Bataclan Theater was also targeted back in 2004 when the Israeli hip-hop duo of Subliminal and Hatzel performed there, despite threats by Islamists that nearly closed the performance. In a 2006 repeat, the venue gave in to the pressure and canceled the show in advance, forcing the Zionist rap stars to perform elsewhere.

    Bataclan was owned by Jewish owners Pascal and Joel Laloux for decades, but the owners sold the place in September 2015 after 40 years.

    “We’re devastated because we knew everyone who worked there,” Pascal told Israel’s Channel 2 news.

    His brother Joel, the co-owner, told Channel 2 that they sold the theater on September 11, and he recently immigrated to Israel. He said he took a call from the theater at the time of the attack “and I could hear the gunfire.”

    The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Saturday expressed its outrage at the attack while noting on the Jewish connection of the concert hall.

    “We join with the international community in loudly condemning these barbaric and heinous terror attacks, which have claimed the lives of hundreds of innocent people going about their lives,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO.

    “Words cannot express our shock at these despicable attacks in Paris. This was an outrageous, cowardly and premeditated assault not just on the people of France, but on all freedom loving people around the world.”

    “While the investigation continues and the terrorists’ motivations are still unclear, we are deeply concerned at reports that the Bataclan Theater has long been a locus of anti-Zionist groups. We hope the French authorities will investigate the possibility that virulent anti-Semitism was a motive in the attack,” added Greenblatt.

    “Having been in Paris earlier this month, I can attest to the resolve and strength of the people of that great city, and know that they will emerge from this tragedy stronger and more united. We stand in solidarity with the French people during this terrible time, and support the efforts of the French government to locate and apprehend those behind the attacks and bring safety and security to all of France.

    “Earlier this year, Paris endured the brutality of the attack on Charlie Hebdo, an assault on free expression. We also saw the violent killing committed at Hyper Cacher, a heinous act of anti-Semitism directed squarely against the Jewish community, one of a series of murderous acts in recent years intended to terrorize French Jews. As happened after these incidents, we know that the City of Light will rise again from the darkness and prevail over those who would seek to use terror as a blunt instrument against freedom and democracy. In the aftermath of this attack we must all rise up and say, ‘JeSuisFrancais!'”

    They were not targating jews with this attack, and I find it rediculious from the ADL to insert the “jewish victim” card here, the parisians don’t give a hoot at this moment about jews, if I dare to say, they hate us right now the same.

    As a side note, I sincerely feel bad for the alleged and self appointed savior of the Jewish Nation; Benjamin Netanyahu. He probably revved his engine when hearing that a terror attack took place in France, hoping that Jews fell as victim, so that he can commence his feverish Aliyah campaigns. How unfortunate for him and his Zionist cohorts that Jews were not involved.

    The aforementioned news tidbit is sickening, don’t try to deem Jews a target when they weren’t.. These people seek to promote any tragedy and try to highlight some overlooked item as THE factor and quickly deem it as Anti-Semitic. Don’t wish for Antisemitism SO badly.

    Je Suis Paris

    Anyway you slice it, failing any facts that the attacks were anti-semitic, the ADL is trying to hijack undeserved sympathy for Israeli interests and that’s beneath contempt.

    Also, who was calling the former owner during the attack? Or is he saying it was just a coincidence?
