On Sunday at the Grammys, recording artist and social media star Montana Tucker stood up for Israel, wearing a banner across her dress emblazoned with “Bring Them Home,” in reference to the roughly 140 Israeli hostages still held by Hamas.

In December 2023, Tucker, the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, visited Israel. She stated, “For me, since October 7, I’ve pretty much taken over my social media to post about what is going on. One year ago, I made a Holocaust educational docu-series called ‘How To Never Forget,” where I took my followers to Poland and I went to visit Auschwitz, where my grandparents are Holocaust survivors. And you know, that was a year ago, when Holocaust denial was still a thing, and people still deny the Holocaust; anti-Semitism was at an all-time high, even a year ago.”
“And now, since October 7, the denial that is still there is absolutely terrible and so upsetting. And no matter what I posted, I feel like there was still denial. And so I wanted to physically go to Israel and be there and show, you know, my millions of followers, ‘This is real. This just happened. This didn’t happen 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 100 years ago, this happened less than three months ago when I went and I tried to meet with as many survivors as I could meet with, as many families as I could meet with. For the second time I met with Hersh’s parents and they’re so incredible. And I met with hostages that were released, and I was sad to leave; I didn’t want to leave.”
“I want to be in Israel as much as I can. Israel is the most amazing place in the world. And despite everything that is going on there right now, the people have so much love and hope in them and spirit in them. And I hope with my content, already I’ve seen people’s perspectives changing a little bit, and their eyes are being opened. And that’s all I could ask for.”

Tucker interviewed Hersh’s parents in late November.
It has now been 49 days since Hersh’s parents saw their son get taken away on a pick up truck with his arm blown off, for the whole world to see. We are SO thankful for the release of 24 hostages…. But 216 remain…. This is about HUMANITY. Bring them ALL home NOW. 🙏🏻🤍 pic.twitter.com/DdXy29hh8L
