President Barack Obama was about 15 minutes into a major speech—a plea for Middle East peace—at the Jerusalem International Convention Center when a heckler shouting in Hebrew interrupted him.
“It made me feel at home,” the president quipped.
Obama had just said that “given the ties between our countries, I believe your future is bound to ours” when the yelling began, prompting people in the audience to try to shush the culprit and then to boo him.
The president playfully put his hand to his left ear as though to hear better and later shaded his eyes as though to see the heckler.
“This is part of the lively debate that we talked about. This is good,” Obama declared, prompting many in the crowd to applaud and ultimately to give him a standing ovation.

With those ears, why would he need to cup his hand over them?

I didn't know Mr. Obama knew how to speak Israelian.

Zippy was surprised an infiltrator made it into his astroturf. I’m surprised no gunshot was heard within 2 minutes.

Article says the pool reporters think the heckler was yelling about releasing the convicted spy Jonathan Pollard. Good he got in a shot at Sata...er, Obama, but bad message.

I thought every Obama speech was a major Obama speech. Surely, Dear Leader doesn't give minor speeches!

Bethlehem Arabs 'Shoe' Obama Posters, American Officials (First Publish: 3/18/2013, 7:29 PM)
Arabs in Bethlehem had a “warm welcome” for American officials who on Monday came to prepare for President Barack H. Obama's visit to the city Friday, by throwing shoes and garbage at the vehicles in an entourage from the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem. Hundreds of Arabs mobbed the vehicles outside the Church of the Nativity, where Obama is scheduled to visit when he comes to Bethlehem.

No Barack....he was speaking Hebrew... not Swahili like in Kenya

Obama’s trip has had one notable success. Before he went, Israelis distrusted him and he inspired hope in the Arab street. Now the Arab street distrusts him and so do most Israelis. So that’s progress (for us).
