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.
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.
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.
“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.”
“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.
