Pro-Palestine Protesters Disrupt Dinner at Home of Berkeley's Jewish Dean
A video captured an anti-Israel student protester interrupting a dinner party at the home of Berkeley Law School's Jewish dean, Erwin Chemerinsky, and his wife, Professor Catherine Fisk, demanding the university divest from corporations funding Israel's role in the war. Chemerinsky expressed sadness over the disruption and revealed he had been the target of antisemitic harassment. The student, Malak Afaneh, felt assaulted and was considering pressing charges, while Chemerinsky announced plans to hold future events with security and warned of reporting disruptive students to the student conduct code and the Bar.
