Neighbors hurl antisemitic slurs at father of Georgia woman killed working for Israel's border patrol: video
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. 5 Rose Lubin was killed after a teenage 'terrorist' stabbed her while on patrol in November 2023. Israel Police 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. David Lubin 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.

Memoir from Oct. 7 hostage Eli Sharabi will reveal shocking abuse — and unimaginable news he learned after his release
The harrowing memoir of Eli Sharabi, who endured 491 days in Hamas captivity, will be released in English on October 7 — the second anniversary of the terror group's brutal 2023 attack on Israel. 'Hostage,' first published in Hebrew earlier this year, has become the fastest-selling book in Israeli history, offering a powerful firsthand account of Sharabi's kidnapping from Kibbutz Be'eri and the discovery that his wife and children had been killed. He endured starvation, isolation, beatings and psychological abuse at the hands of his captors. The Post can exclusively reveal the cover of the book, published by Harper Influence, an imprint of HarperCollins. Advertisement Until his release in February, Sharabi was fueled by the desire to be reunited with his British-born wife, Lianne, and daughters, Noiya, 16, and Yahel, 13 — only to discover they had been killed by Hamas terrorists, and that his brother Yossi died in captivity. 7 Sharabi was held hostage by Hamas for almost 500 days. AP 7 Sharabi's captors shot his dog and killed his wife, Lianne (right), and teenage daughters Yahel (second from left) and Noiya. Instagram / @eli_is_home_bring_yossi_back Advertisement 'When I came back and hear that they were murdered five minutes after I was kidnapped, I can't understand the situation and I demand answers,' he told N12 in June. 'I want to see them, I want to hug them, I want to draw strength from them, I want to show them that I'm okay, that I'm no longer a poster.' 7 The publisher said the cover photo 'reveals the eyes of a man who has seen the darkest depths of hell, but refuses to give up.' Sharabi has said his time in Gaza was spent enduring Hamas' cruelty while 164 feet underground, his body wrapped in 'chains so tight, they ripped my skin,' alongside fellow hostages Alon Ohel and Or Levy. Advertisement He was emaciated and weighed a mere 97 pounds at the time of his release. Speaking before the UN Security Council in New York in March, Sharabi told world leaders that Hamas has ransacked the aid meant for hostages and Gaza's civilian population, enjoying the spoils while everyone around them suffers. 7 Sharabi was taken from his home at Kibbutz Be'eri, much of which was destroyed in the attacks. Getty Images 'Hamas eats like kings, while hostages starve,' said Sharabi, whose appearance shocked the world when he was released back in February. Advertisement Sharabi said Hamas would only give him 'a piece of pita' bread to eat, along with 'a sip of tea.' As he endured brutal beatings and relentless mockery from the terrorists, Sharabi said his will was nearly broken when Hamas terrorists laughed just before his release as they broke the news that his brother, Yossi, had been killed in captivity. 7 In front of the UN Security Council, Sharabi described being chained, beaten and starved by his captors. Getty Images 'It was like they brought a massive hammer down on me,' Sharabi told the UN. He was ultimately released as part of the first phase of a cease-fire deal that saw 29 other hostages and the bodies of eight Israelis returned to the country. 'I wrote the book to reach people, to give back, to show that no matter how difficult it is, you can always choose, no matter what cards life deals you, it is in your hands, always, in every moment, the choice to die, and the choice to live,' he previously said, according to the Jerusalem Post. 7 Sharabi (center, with his brother Sharon and a sister) was released in February along with two other hostages. He weighed less than 100 pounds. Israel Gpo/UPI/Shutterstock Advertisement 7 US President Trump compared Sharabi (second from left) and other former hostages to 'Holocaust survivors' after the trio was freed. Instagram / @ Harper Influencer publisher and SVP Lisa Sharkey said the picture on the front cover of the English version 'reveals the eyes of a man who has seen the darkest depths of hell, but refuses to give up. 'They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This photo of Eli Sharabi, moments before his release, looking frail, gaunt, starved, and deeply afraid, this picture shows the 491 days of heartbreak he spent in captivity, after being kidnapped by the Hamas terrorists who murdered his family on October 7,' she said.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Takes Aim at Trump Administration Over Visa Change
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia ripped the Trump administration on Tuesday after the State Department announced that it would no longer issue visas to Palestinian children in need of medical care amid Israel's relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip. Why It Matters Greene has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration's policy vis-à-vis Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, which has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. She recently became the first Republican lawmaker to refer to Israel's military assault on the besieged territory as a "genocide," amid allegations that the Israeli government's actions and ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid have led to widespread starvation in Gaza. GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks with reporters at the U.S. Capitol on July 22. GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks with reporters at the U.S. Capitol on July 22. Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images What To Know Greene torched the State Department in a lengthy social media post on Tuesday, singling out two recent developments related to Israel's Gaza policy and the arrest and subsequent release of an Israeli official charged with soliciting sex electronically from a minor. "Two recent decisions made by the State Department both involve children," Greene wrote on X. "We need to be the America that allows war torn children to come here for life saving surgeries and the America that never releases a foreign child sex predator that our great [law enforcement officials] caught. But in this circumstance those war torn children are from Gaza and this foreign child sex predator is from Israel and works directly for [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu]." The State Department has denied that the U.S. government played any role in the release of Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, a senior official in Israel's National Cyber Directorate. Alexandrovich was among eight people charged last week after a sting operation "targeting child sex predators," the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced. Reuters, citing Israeli media reports, said Alexandrovich was released and is back in Israel, facing a felony sex crime charge. "Would it be antisemitic to drag Netanyahu's Cyber Executive Director back and prosecute this pos to the full extent of the law and at the same time let Palestinian kids who had their limbs and bodies blown apart receive surgeries in America?" Greene wrote on social media. "I'm not saying bring in refugees or use tax payer dollars, not at all, but when did America's heart grow so cold to refuse innocent children privately funded surgeries and then they return home after they recover?" she added. "Wouldn't we allow Israeli children if they were the ones needing surgery? Or war torn children from any other country?" The State Department announced on Saturday that it will halt all visitor visas for people from Gaza, saying it's pausing the program to carry out a "full and thorough review of the process and procedures" used to grant the "medical-humanitarian" visas. The Trump administration's decision came after a social media campaign from far-right extremist and social media influencer Laura Loomer, who accused the humanitarian group HEAL Palestine, without evidence, of "mass importing GAZANS into the US" under the "false claim" of humanitarian aid. Loomer's allegations centered around the Ohio-based organization's announcement on August 4 that 11 critically injured children, ages 6 to 15, had arrived in the U.S. for medical care. Greene, who has spread misinformation and antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, accused the U.S. of being "subservient" to Israel on Tuesday, writing: "And the most concerning question is when and how did America become so subservient to Israel that we immediately release a CHILD SEX PREDATOR after arrest, with a 100% locked up case with evidence, and let him off to fly back home to Israel??" "Would we do that with a Mexican child sex predator? Chinese child sex predator? Any other country's child sex predator?" she wrote. "I know God does not discriminate in his love for children. Why would we?" What People Are Saying The State Department wrote on X Monday: "The Department of State is aware that Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, an Israeli citizen, was arrested in Las Vegas and given a court date for charges related to soliciting sex electronically from a minor. He did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge pending a court date. Any claims that the U.S. government intervened are false." Loomer wrote on X: The "Trump administration needs to shut this abomination down ASAP before a family member of one of these GAZANS goes rogue and kills Americans for HAMAS." The State Department wrote on X Saturday: "All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days." What Happens Next It's unclear when—or if—the State Department will resume granting humanitarian parole to Gazan children in need of medical care.
