‘Heckler thought Obama’s speech too pro-Israeli’

Channel 2 says the heckler who disrupted Obama’s Jerusalem speech shouted “Free Palestine.” The heckler, who thought the president’s speech was too pro-Israel, was briefly questioned by police but not held.

Meanwhile, BuzzFeed reports that according to a pool reporter who was at the scene, the audience member actually heckled Obama in Hebrew about Jonathan Pollard. Said poll reporter was mistaken.

“This is part of the lively debate that we talked about,” Obama said in response, eliciting cheers from the audience.
