A heckler interrupted President Obama�s speech at International Convention Center in Jerusalem on Thursday morning, cutting into the impassioned appeal for peace with a comment about an imprisoned spy.

�This is part of the lively debate that we talked about,� Obama said to loud applause from an audience of Israeli university students. �This is good.�

The president, who has dealt with hecklers at campaign rallies, policy speeches and even an address to Congress, joked that he hired the protester.

�I have to say we actually arranged for that because it made me feel at home,� Obama said. �I wouldn�t feel comfortable if I didn�t have at least one heckler.�

The man was shouting in Hebrew. According to a White House pool report, he was referencing Jonathan Pollard, an American who pleaded guilty in 1986 to passing top-secret information to Israel.
