A dinner held at UC Berkeley School of Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky's home was upended after a pro-Palestinian attempted to speak about the Israel-Hamas war and refused to leave.
A congratulatory dinner held at the home of UC Berkeley School of Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky was upended this week after a pro-Palestinian student started a heated speech about the Israel-Hamas war and refused to leave. The incident, which took place Tuesday evening, came after several soon-to-be law school graduates were invited to attend one of three backyard dinners at the Oakland residence of Chemerinsky, a left-wing scholar, and his wife, law school professor Catherine Fisk.
Standing with a microphone and reading from her phone, Afaneh was approached by Fisk, who attempted to grab at the student's phone and microphone. 'Today, we are gathered here to commemorate our final few weeks as law students,' the student said. 'Tonight is also the last night of the holy month of Ramadan, where millions of Muslims from around the world fast.
Please leave our house,' Chemerinsky said to the students. 'You are guests at our house.' Afaneh then claimed it was her First Amendment right to speak at the backyard dinner before Chemerinsky said, 'This is my house. The First Amendment doesn't apply.' Fisk, who told the student she was no longer 'welcome' at the event, then threatened to call the police, to which Afaneh said, 'Okay, you can call the police.
