Pro-Palestinian protester derails dinner at UC Berkeley law school dean’s home, refuses to leave
Fox News
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.
Held in the couple's garden, the first dinner was quickly disrupted when Malak Afaneh, a Palestinian American law student at the school who serves as co-president of Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine, approached a set of steps and attempted to give a speech about the people who have been killed in Gaza as a result of the war in the Middle East.

Video footage of the confrontation between Afaneh and the couple was shared online, showing the student calling for the university to divest from corporations involved in Israel’s war. The footage also showed Chemerinsky and his wife repeatedly pleading with the student to exit the dinner and leave their property.
