The conflict involving Gaza, Israel and Hamas is going around the world. A war that has left numerous images of the cruelty that is being experienced in that area of the Middle East, above all, of the thousands of civilian victims that it is leaving in its wake. A new crisis that has made many celebrities want to take a position on the matter.
Mark Ruffalo, Jamie Lee Curtis, Natalie Portman and Gal Gadot are some of the stars who wanted to speak out. Although they have had different arguments and positions, they all agree on the pain caused by seeing the loss of innocent lives, among which are many boys and girls. For this reason, some people close to the celebrities have decided to hit the table and do something.
One of these has been one of Taylor Swift's bodyguards. The former worker, who went viral with a video in which he appears carrying the singer during one of her concerts, has decided to leave his position, which brought him $500,000 a year, and a completely comfortable life, to fight for what he believes in. correct.
Although there are images of him, his identity remains anonymous. However, he has not hesitated to comment on what led him to make this decision. "I got my 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 couldn't stand by while families are massacred and burned alive in their homes!!! Just for being Jews or for being Israelis," he told Variety.
And it is clear that he is willing to fight to protect Israel, and its civilians, and go against Hamas. According to the latest information, Taylor Swift's former security guard is prepared for it, since she was supposedly a member of the Israel Defense Forces before agreeing to work for the artist. According to Israeli journalist Eran Swisa, the former worker was born in a Kibbutz in the area, that is, an agricultural commune.
But they are not the bodyguard's only statements. "I'm with Israel... it shouldn't just be about one person. Support the only Jewish state. It should be 'I'm with humanity!!!'" he posted on his social media feed. "It would be an insult to animals around the world to call them 'animals,' but they are not human beings," he added.
The singer's former employee also wanted to make a call to people: "Don't stay still and do nothing. Don't be on the wrong side of history." For her part, Taylor Swift has not wanted to comment on this, nor on the conflict, focusing on her work and the launch of her film Eras Tour.
Although the artist has not offered any statement on the matter, many others have. Jaime Lee Curtis publicly asked that "all children be protected." "My heart is broken for the people of Israel. Children, women and the elderly have been murdered and kidnapped in their own homes," said Natalie Portman.
