Neighbors hurl antisemitic slurs at father of Georgia woman killed working for Israel's border patrol: video

New York Post8 hours ago
A grieving father of an American woman killed while serving on Israel's border patrol was verbally abused by neighbors who shouted antisemitic slurs and mocked him for his daughter's death, according to the hurting dad and video.
Sgt. Elisheva Rose Ida Lubin, 20, was stabbed to death by a teenage 'terrorist' while patrolling Jerusalem's Old City in November 2023.

Rose was a 'lone soldier' living in Israel without her family after immigrating there in August 2021 and starting her mandated army duty in March 2022 — more than a year before the Israel-Hamas War officially began.
Her father, David Lubin, hasn't known peace since his daughter's untimely death.
5 David Lubin's neighbors allegedly called him a 'k–e.'
David Lubin
Back home in Atlanta, where Rose lived with her family before moving to Israel, David said he's been frequently harassed by his vindictive neighbors who labeled the mourning father as a 'corrupt Israeli.'
The simmering tensions between the two households came to a head when David posted signage honoring Rose across from his neighbors, who had other signs claiming support for Palestinians alongside bits covered with derogatory Jewish slurs, he said.
David told Atlanta News First that he never took issue with his neighbors' signs, as they had a right to display whatever they wanted.
5 David went across the street to confront his neighbors, who defended the use of the slur.

He tried to shake off their comments, at first — until he said he heard the irate woman call him a 'k–e' and shout that 'your daughter deserved to die,' he told the outlet.
David marched across the street and confronted his neighbors while they each filmed one another on their phones.
5 Anna Bouyzk allegedly told David that Rose's death was his fault.
David Lubin
'You are calling yourself a k–e, you know what you are. You know what you are better than me. You are a corrupt politician with a daughter in the IDF that went there to kill, and has killed maybe in friendly fire because the Israeli soldiers kill each other all the time, and you know very well,' one of his neighbors, Anna Bouyzk, insisted as they argued over the meaning of the Jewish slur.
Bouyzk and her husband Mark, the co-founder of the bought-out genetics company AKESOgen, went on to insist Rose's death was okay because 'she was fighting.'
5 Bouyzk insisted that she isn't a 'Jew hater' because she has other 'Jew friends.'
David Lubin
'Do you realize when you say that how disgusting you are? You are disgusting. You are disgusting. You are the most disgusting person I've ever met. 'Because you're a Jew, you don't understand'? You are so confused,' David spat.
Bouyzk later doubled down and told the outlet that she had no qualms about lobbing the detestable slur at David.
'I don't regret what I said, and I'll say it a million times again. And I'm not a Jew hater because I have Jew friends,' she told the outlet.
Bouyzk admitted, almost proudly, that she called David on Monday and told him that he was responsible for his daughter's death.
David, growing desperate, said he is considering reporting Bouyzk's harassment to local police.

White House Launches TikTok Account

The White House has created an official TikTok account just weeks before the deadline that President Donald Trump extended for the Chinese-owned app to be sold to a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the U.S. The account, @whitehouse, was launched Tuesday evening and gained more than 80,000 followers as of early Wednesday. Trump's campaign used a TikTok account, @realdonaldtrump, which now has more than 15 million followers, before the presidential election last year. Trump's aides said last year that his TikTok was 'the most successful launch in political history' and credited it with being his 'secret sauce.' 'I am your voice,' Trump declares in the first video posted to the White House account, featuring footage of him spliced together and a caption reading, 'America we are BACK! What's up TikTok?' 'The Trump administration is committed to communicating the historic successes President Trump has delivered to the American people with as many audiences and platforms as possible,' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Reuters on Tuesday. 'President Trump's message dominated TikTok during his presidential campaign, and we're excited to build upon those successes and communicate in a way no other administration has before.' Federal employees are not allowed to download the app on work devices with limited exceptions, per a law passed during the Biden Administration. Trump's TikTok evolution The Trump Administration has sought to negotiate a deal for the sale of TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, to a non-Chinese buyer before Sept. 17. The app was initially banned in the U.S. after President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan law last year requiring ByteDance to divest from the app over national security concerns. TikTok has argued that a U.S. ban violates the First Amendment, though the Supreme Court upheld the ban. On the evening of Jan. 18, the app was removed from U.S. app stores and users were met with a message reading, 'Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately that means you can't use TikTok for now.' Hours later, the app was live again as Trump announced that he extended the deadline for ByteDance to sell. A message on the app read: 'Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!' TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, who attended Trump's inauguration, praised Trump for the extension in a video message. Read More: Why Trump Flipped on TikTok The President has since extended the deadline several more times, although a sale before the current September deadline looks uncertain. Trump said in June that a deal with 'a group of very wealthy people' was close, contingent on approval from Beijing. Trump has also acknowledged that his tariffs on China may have made a sale harder. Trump himself had called TikTok a national security threat during his first presidential term, and the ban on the app was driven by a bipartisan push. 'The spread in the United States of mobile applications developed and owned by companies in [China] continues to threaten the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States,' an executive order signed by Trump in 2020 reads. 'The United States must take aggressive action against the owners of TikTok to protect our national security.'

Trump is wildly unpopular and losing ground fast. Why is anyone afraid of him?

Trump's approval rating in the YouGov polling has tumbled from +3% at the beginning of February to -15% now. He's underwater on every issue Americans care about. While the top issues for most Americans are high prices, inflation and health care, our increasingly unpopular president is laser-focused on things nobody cares about. Like downplaying exhibitions on the history of slavery at the Smithsonian. On the same day a new poll by The Economist/YouGov showed Donald Trump's disapproval rating hitting a new high, the president took time to post this on social media: 'The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been.' How bad slavery was? I'm not quite sure what that implies, but suffice it to say the new poll didn't find 'See less about how slavery was bad' to be a priority for American voters watching the costs of beef and vegetables skyrocket. Americans care about inflation, Trump cares about 'WOKE' museums Trump went on to say he has 'instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums' and start getting rid of 'WOKE,' whatever that means. The Aug. 19 poll and Trump's rambling post about ridding our museums of history create a perfect moment to pose this question: Why is anyone in American politics or in the corporate world afraid of this toxic president? Trump's approval rating in the Economist/YouGov polling has tumbled from +3% at the beginning of February to -15% now. He's underwater on every issue Americans care about, from immigration (53% disapprove) to jobs and the economy (53% disapprove) to inflation (61% disapprove) to foreign trade (56% disapprove). Nearly two-thirds of Americans – two-thirds! – say the country, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, is 'out of control.' Trump is so unpopular that there's no risk in standing up to him So when a public figure who is unpopular comes out and says he wants to scrub all the stuff about 'how bad Slavery was' from America's museums, I think other public figures would be on solid ground if they denounced him. Republicans won't do it, of course. They've spent decades ignoring the needs of their voters, focusing instead on tossing them red meat from the culture wars and assuming that bashing liberals is all that matters. But even in Democratic circles, most continue to go after Trump with kid gloves, with notable exceptions like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. And corporate types are, by and large, either silent or outright supportive of a president liked by fewer and fewer Americans. From a marketing and political strategy standpoint, none of this makes sense. Trump's bullying nature and willingness to use the power of the federal government against his enemies are clearly cowing many, which is pathetic. You don't wait around for an unpopular bully to gather more power. Most Americans don't see US as a dark and dangerous place Think about Trump's anti-immigrant, anti-woke, fearmongering worldview. He has dispatched the National Guard to Washington, DC, to fight a crime wave that doesn't exist. He speaks routinely about big U.S. cities being crime-ridden, trotting out words like 'filth' and 'squalor,' and he demeans Americans who don't stand in lockstep with him. Now consider this question posed in the YouGov poll under 'World View': Which comes closest to your view? The answer 'Our lives are threatened by terrorists, criminals, and illegal immigrants and our priority should be to protect ourselves' was chosen by only 35% of respondents. The answer 'It's a big, beautiful world, mostly full of good people, and we must find a way to embrace each other and not allow ourselves to become isolated' was chosen by 50% of respondents. Corporate leaders only stand to benefit from taking on Trump People aren't buying what Trump is selling. They don't like what he's selling. And they don't like him. There is zero political risk to standing up against this president. There is only upside, and how more haven't realized it yet is beyond me. Powerful people in the business and political worlds, along with everyday Americans, don't have to sit silently and let Trump do what he wants, whether it's militarizing city streets, cruelly rounding up immigrants and forcing them into camps, or purging the evils from America's past to create a fake United States of Righteousness. Opposing him has the benefit of being the moral move and the popular move. The arrow pointing to the right side of history is brighter than the sun. Bending to the will of a wannabe tyrant has never benefited anybody. Standing up and shouting a wannabe tyrant down, on the other hand, is the kind of thing that gets remembered.

Missing Texas woman Kaura Taylor found living in lost ‘African' tribe in Scotland

A woman reported missing by her family in Texas has been found living amongst a lost 'African' tribe in the Scottish woodlands. The Kingdom of Kubala claim they have settled in a forest in Jedburgh, with the intention of reclaiming land that was stolen from their ancestors in the Highlands 400 years ago. The trio consists of group leader King Atehene, 36, who was previously an opera singer under the name Kofi Offeh, his wife, Queen Nandi, and their handmaiden Asnat. 7 Kaura Taylor was found living with an 'African' tribe in Scotland. Katielee Arrowsmith / SWNS It has now emerged that Asnat, Lady Safi, is Kaura Taylor from Texas, who has been reported missing by her family in the US. 'To the UK authorities, obviously I am not missing,' she said in a video message from the camp. 'Leave me alone. I'm an adult, not a helpless child.' The group said on Tuesday that they 'don't recognize local laws' and have faced persecution from those who don't understand their ways. They have been served eviction notices and have even suffered an attack on their camp when their tents were set on fire. But instead of bowing to local law enforcement, they say they only recognize the laws of their God, named Yahowah. 7 The missing American woman gave an offering of Irn-Bru, a Scottish soda, and shortbread sticks to the so-called King Atehene. Katielee Arrowsmith / SWNS 7 The tribe said they are reclaiming land that was stolen from their ancestors in the Highlands 400 years ago. Katielee Arrowsmith / SWNS Its King even claimed to be a descendant of the Messiah. Their presence has baffled locals, although the tribe claim to live a simple life, bathing in a nearby stream, living in tents and connecting with nature. 'We live a very simple life of returning to innocence,' King Atehene said. 'We connect to nature. We connect to the trees around us. We get grounded every morning. We bathe in the springwater. We are living a simple life of relying daily on the creator for food, shelter and clothing. We live in a tent without walls, but we are not afraid of anyone, for we have the protection of the creator, Yahowah.' 7 Former opera singer Kofi Offeh claimed to be a descendent of the Messiah. Katielee Arrowsmith / SWNS 7 The tribe set up camp in the Scottish woodlands. Katielee Arrowsmith / SWNS He continued, 'Many people do not have the eyes to see and the ears to hear. They see things and they judge without understanding. This includes the government of Great Britain, who say that culture and religion is tolerant in Great Britain, but the Kingdom of Kubala has suffered trials and tribulations at the hands of authorities, who do not understand or tolerate. But the Kingdom of Kubala cannot be destroyed, for we are helped by the creator of the heavens and the earth, our God. Until then, no one will be able to destroy the Kingdom of Kubala.' They claim they are a lost tribe of Hebrews, with their King descended from David the Messiah, and say their ancestors were cast out when Elizabeth I deported native black Jacobites. The group said they live a simple life and aimed to fulfill a prophecy to establish their kingdom and bring other 'lost tribes' back into the fold. 7 The group has been served eviction notices but claimed that they 'don't recognize local laws.' Katielee Arrowsmith / SWNS 'We follow the laws of the creator, everything belongs to the ones who made it,' King Atehene added. 'We do not believe that any authority owns the land. The earth belongs to the father. We do not know about any eviction. All we know is that we are here to stay and establish our authority and power, just like our ancestors did.' King Atehene described it as a 'journey of pilgrimage.' King Atehene claimed, 'the prophecy said, 'after 400 years, when my ancestors are destroyed from the land of Scotland, from the land of Great Britain, they will go into captivity and lose their identity.'But after 400 years, I will come and bring them back to the land of promise. I am following the ancestral call and the call of the gods. The calling from our creator to embark on this journey, is the most important thing in our life. It is a journey of hope – a pilgrimage.' His wife, Queen Nandi, 43, a mother of seven who was born Jean Gasho, shared a statement on social media. 7 The group's leader wore a crown of pine cones and feathers. Katielee Arrowsmith / SWNS 'We are the Lost Tribes of Hebrews and have returned to claim Scotland as our homeland, a land stolen by Elizabeth the first 400 years ago when she deported all black people from Scotland and England, who were not Africans but natives of the land,' Queen Nandi wrote. 'Jacobites were black, from their ancestor Jacob, Yacobho, a black man. According to our Prophet Atehene, Jerusalem is in Scotland, and that he is the seed and offspring of David, the Messiah. The old world is going, the Second Exodus has begun, only those who live off grid, in Tabernacles will be saved, as we enter the Millennium Kingdom of Kubala, and the world is left behind.' Scottish Borders Council said it had been 'working with Police Scotland' to manage the ongoing situation. 'This has included the provision of advice and information about housing options and other support services,' a spokesperson said.
