JERUSALEM (AP) - Two ultranationalist Israeli activists have been arrested for shouting insults at White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
The two men approached Emanuel Thursday as he was touring Jerusalem's Old City with his family under heavy security.
The protesters began shouting insults and slogans from afar, yelling, "Jerusalem is not for sale." They were referring to the White House pressure for Israel to halt construction in disputed east Jerusalem.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says they were quickly detained and taken for questioning.
And the Israeli police jumped into action to arrest the hecklers. How impressive!! I'll bet Micky had a hard on when he spoke to the fawning press. "Vie vill make them respect all Socialist Welfare politicians who would sell out Israel to the muslims."
