UC Berkeley professor Erwin Chemerinsky and his wife, professor Catherine Fisk, got into a heated argument with a pro-Palestinian protester during a dinner at their home.
What was supposed to be a celebratory dinner at a dean's home for graduating UC Berkeley law students on Tuesday turned into an angry confrontation over the Israel-Hamas war, free speech and accusations of anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish hatred. Several dozen law school students were invited to the Oakland home of School of Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky and his wife, law school professor Catherine Fisk, for the first of three dinners they planned to host.
'This is not your house! It is my house!' Fisk says. The video shows Fisk looking at another woman who is with the demonstrator and saying, 'Get her to leave my house!' An argument ensues among Afaneh, Chemerinsky, Fisk and the other woman, also a law student. 'You are not welcome,' Fisk says to Afaneh, suggesting she may call the police. Afaneh replies, 'You can call the police.' Fisk says, 'I don't prefer to.
