French Jews Warned Friday Morning of ‘Impending Large Terrorist Attack’
Netanyahu: Israel Passed Intelligence to France on Attack
Intelligence in the lead-up to Friday evening’s terrorist attacks in Paris was not nearly so scarce as had initially been indicated, and several nations, including Iraq and Israel, appear to have been passing France intelligence on the matter in the days leading up to the attack.
According to the Times of Israel, French Jewish security officials were informed of an “impending large terrorist attack” in France on Friday morning, There was considerable speculation in the lead-up that France’s Jewish community would be among the targets.
Ultimately, this appears not to have been the case, though the community notes that the Bataclan, the site of the massive hostage-taking, was until very recently Jewish-owned, and has repeatedly been the site of both IDF fundraisers and anti-Israel protests, raising speculation that this made the target higher-profile for ISIS.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu also reported in a statement this weekend that Israel has been sharing intelligence with France and other “relevant countries” about the attackers in Paris, saying the intelligence sharing has been ongoing and was not just “over the past day.”

Were there any dancing Israelis on the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower?

The theater attacked was owned by Jews who, in an exercise of financial wizardy, sold it two months ago and moved to Israel. What a stroke of luck!

Almost as clever as billionaire Larry Silverstein of 9/11 fame.
This, too, comes off as a disturbing pattern that cries out for investigation by a disinterested commission.

Has nobody asked the question how within a few hours at the most of the attacks that the French tricolor was displayed in perfectly coordinated 'light displays' across the world's most famous urban landmarks – The Brandenburg Gate, The NYC Trade Centre, The Western Wall, The Sydney Opera House etc? There must have been some highly dangerous and feverish changing of light bulbs in the middle of the night, no?
Shame they couldn't have mobilized such incredible coordination and near unbelievable lightning-applied skill to prevent the attacks in the first place.

The Zionist/CIA is behind the violence. This is the same bunch that staged 9/11.

The exact same thing occurred on 9/11.

November 13, 2015 The Deep State: The unelected shadow government is here to stay
“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government, owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”―Theodore Roosevelt
America’s next president will inherit more than a bitterly divided nation teetering on the brink of financial catastrophe when he or she assumes office. He will also inherit a shadow government, one that is fully operational and staffed by unelected officials who are, in essence, running the country.

This article reminded me of viewing this informative reporting done back in 2014.

Exercise Stalwart Guardian 14 which began on Saturday August 16, 2014 in the Niagara region of Ontario. The military exercise involves several armored regiments and over 2,000 Canadian, American, Scottish and British troops operating in public areas.

Perfectly possible. The Israelis may have hoped to create a 9/11-style over-reaction, which is not happening. That's just not the European way. There have been a series of attacks on French nationals since the Charlie Hebdo attack which looked very like an attempt to create a stampede but Europeans are much too lucid to imagine that bombing people in Syria will protect them in France. Israel itself is a perfect example. They've spent nearly 70 years trying to crush the Palestinians by force and have nothing to show for it but a solid reputation as childkillers. They're caught in a vicious circle of attacks followed by revenge raids which are as militarily useless as they are politically counter-productive followed by further attacks.If Putin is fool enough to go down that road, so much the better, but I don't see any other European country following his example.

"French Jewish security officials were informed of an “impending large terrorist attack” in France on Friday morning, '?
What exactly is meant by French Jewish security officials"?

The warning given to the French government on October 2 was published openly, and specified that it would be impossible to stop this kind of attack. How is that for terrorising the public into passivity?

Exactly.
Coincedences are funny things , are they not ?
Both the attacks in France look like a GLADIO (about 3.0) style operation.

Also ,I read on the net there where anti-terrordrills shortly before the attacks,
just like 9/11(FEMA),London , Boston and some US schoolshootings
Also probably just coincedences.

"French Jewish security officials" could mean Jews who work in France's security apparatus. "Security officials in France’s Jewish community" is something else entirely.

Hollande is certainly beating his chest right now, and following it up with at least 150 raids on the usual suspects, plus throwing out the policy of open borders, etc. There will be more repression – that is the only tactic that nation-states know, having been created and maintained by violence.

I do think Israeli intelligence has better information than most other intelligence services by virtue of the number of Arabic speakers and their contacts in the middle east. They may have known something about 9/11 or the Paris attack. What I don't believe is there is a secret world wide network of Jews that receive warnings and stay away from targets. Perhaps one or two people could get a message but there isn't any way you could warn thousands of people to stay away from the WTC and expect nobody would spill the beans. This is the ultimate conspiracy theory.
