Someone was tipped off about an unscheduled visit by Obama to the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City, for he was met by a crowd of dozens, including one heckler who yelled “Obama, Jerusalem is our land! Obama, Jerusalem is not for sale!” nearly the entire time he was there.
ABC News' Jake Tapper writes: “He kept yelling this for Obama's entire 10 minutes at the Wall, refusing to stop despite repeated entreaties to do so from the crowd. Obama chatted with the men with whom he'd come to the Wall, before walking to the Wall to place a note he had previously written between the Wall's cracks. He put his hand on the Wall, bowed his head and appeared contemplative. The heckler, not an Obama fan, continued yelling. Obama turned from the Wall and walked back to his crowd. Some young men tried to drown out the heckler, chanting, ‘Obama! Obama! Obama!' After shaking some hands, Obama got back in his motorcade and headed to the airport. ‘It was rowdier than the last time I was there, you know?' Obama told reporters on the plane. ‘I mean, people were sort of, like, holerin' (sic). You know I was expecting more reverence.'”
