Taylor Swift’s tour security guard, who wishes to remain anonymous, has left his post to return to Israel to rejoin the Israeli Defense Forces. According to Israel Today, the security guard who worked on Swift’s The Eras Tour, is going back to Israel to fight against Hamas. “I got a pretty great life in the US. I got an amazing job that I love, great friends,” he told journalist Eran Swisa. “I didn’t HAVE to come here… But I could not stand on the sidelines while families are being slaughtered and burned alive in their homes!!! Just for being Jewish or for being Israelis,” said the anonymous security guard. He also added, “I’m not only standing here with Israel… I’m standing here with humanity.” So far, the Israel-Hamas war has resulted in the deaths of over 1,300 Israelis and over 2,800 Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a “complete siege” of Gaza in retaliation.
