Over the weekend, unwelcoming banners were already appearing on campus saying "No to the Pope" and "La Sapienza Hostage to the Pope," and several left-wing student groups had promised widespread heckling for Benedict's arrival on Thursday.

Still, compared to other stops on Bush's Middle East wing, Israel is considered comparatively safe.
