As the Israel-Hamas conflict heats up, a security guard from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has returned to his native country. He has returned to Israel to battle the Hamas terrorist organization. After seeing Hamas’s horrific attacks on Israeli residents, he chose to return home and join the IDF reserves. After the initial blows, he left the United States. The security guard was spotted fighting in the IDF by an Israeli journalist. While the man was born on an Israeli kibbutz, he had been working in America. It’s unclear whether the security officer worked for Swift or the tour stadium, or how closely he worked with the singer.
Taylor Swift’s security guard said, “I got a pretty great life back in the US”
In a statement to Variety, Taylor Swift’s security guard said, “I got a pretty great life back in the US. I got an amazing dream job that I love, great friends that I call family, and a very comfortable home. I didn’t HAVE to come here… But I could not stand on the sidelines while families were being slaughtered and burned alive in their homes!!! Just for being Jewish or for being Israelis.” Meanwhile, he condemned the attack on Israel and said, “While one side is protecting babies, kids, and the elderly, the other side is using those as human shields!!! It’ll be an insult to animals worldwide to call them ‘animals’ but those are not human beings. They killed and slaughtered families in their beds alongside family’s [sic] pets!!!! And then they burned the houses down!!!! Try to imagine that happening in your own neighborhood, to your next-door neighbors, or to a family you know.”
“I’m not only standing here with Israel and actually standing here. I’m standing here with humanity. Don’t be on the wrong side of history!! Don’t stand on the sidelines and say nothing… Stand with Israel, stand with HUMANITY!!!!!”
