Radicalization in academia
During a meal organized in his private home by the dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Berkeley, a group of pro-Palestinian students arrived and blew up the meal.
The Jewish dean, Erwin Chemerinsky, invited dozens of law school students to his home in Oakland, for what was supposed to be a festive introduction evening.
The commotion began when a Palestinian American student who was invited to the dinner, stood up in front of the guests and began to give a speech about the Palestinians dying in Gaza, and about her demand that the university renounce corporations that support Israel, as well as the occupation of "Palestinian lands." The festive event quickly turned into arguments regarding the Israel-Hamas war, freedom of speech, and accusations of anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish hatred.
