Confrontation Over Israel-Hamas War Erupts at UC Berkeley Law School Dean’s Home, Sparking Controversy and Calls for Free Speech Debate
Confrontation at UC Berkeley Law School Dinner Exposes Deep Divides
A celebratory dinner for graduating law students at the University of California, Berkeley turned into a fiery confrontation over the Israel-Hamas war and issues of free speech. The incident highlights the deep divides on campus and raises questions about how to foster respectful dialogue in an increasingly polarized society.
The Incident Unfolds
The dinner was hosted by Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of UC Berkeley’s School of Law, and his wife Catherine Fisk, a law professor. It was meant to be a casual gathering to recognize the achievements of law students. However, it quickly escalated when a Palestinian American student stood up to speak about Palestinians dying in Gaza and called for university divestment from corporations involved in Israel’s war.
Chemerinsky responded by demanding that she leave his home. His actions were met with outrage from the student, Malak Afaneh, who claimed her free speech rights were being violated. The incident culminated in physical altercations between Fisk and Afaneh.
Protests vs Free Speech

Concern over rejection of large number of requests for humanitarian parole – Telemundo Miami (51)
MIAMI, Florida – “This was our only hope,” Cuban Cyntia Ferrá comments through tears. “I’m here with my two children. My husband is in the US, on an I22A, waiting for a resolution to his case. The Humanitarian Parole was an opportunity to meet again.”
His request, however, was just rejected: “My sponsor wrote to me to check my email, because there was a notification in my case. “I thought that after more than a year of waiting we had finally been approved, but it was disappointing to find out that this was not the case.”
Like her, many Cubans received the same news this Tuesday. The exact number is not known, but according to the developers of Inmigreat Case Tracker, an application that monitors the progress of cases, it would be in the thousands.
“We are following around 250 thousand cases and yesterday was a disastrous day. We found 3,482 refusals, which represents a negative record,” Ángel Baullosa, one of the co-founders of the application, explained to Telemundo 51.
“Before that, the day with the highest number of rejected cases was last April 3, with 24. This number is not comparable to what we have just seen,” he added.
According to their data analysis, the rejected requests date back to different dates, “which leads us to think that it may have been a system error or, otherwise, that they put some kind of automation so that sponsors who do not meet certain requirements , we don’t know which one, to be eliminated. All these are speculations”, clarifies Baullosa.
The Department of Homeland Security has so far not responded to our request for comment
