Taylor Swift’s bodyguard has reportedly returned home to Israel to volunteer in the Israeli Defense Forces amid the war with Hamas.
The unidentified security guard, who gained online fame during Swift’s “Eras Tour” this summer, posted a picture in his military uniform to his Facebook on Sunday, writing, in part, ‘I Stand with Israel… shouldn’t be just about a person stands with the one and only Jewish state. It should be “I stand with humanity!!!”
“While one side is protecting babies kids and the elderly, the other side is using those as human shields,” he wrote. “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 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.”
Israeli journalist Eran Swissa from “Israel Today” broke the news of Swift’s guard enlisting and told Variety on Monday that the guard was born at a kibbutz in Israel but had been working in America.
The guard added on Facebook, “I got a pretty great life back in the US… 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 are being slaughtered and burned alive in their homes!!! Just for being jewish or for being Israelis.”
He continued, “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!!!!!”
The Post has contacted reps for Swissa and Swift for comment.
The “Anti-Hero” singer has not publicly addressed the conflict in Israel.
Meanwhile, Swift’s rumored boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, 34, stepped in as her bodyguard over the weekend in New York City.
During their outing, the “Catching Kelce” alum reportedly “told her security guard that he could step aside like he’d take it from here.”
