Street Artist HIJACK HIJACK: www.hijackart.com // Instagram This piece is a piece that means a lot to me as it represents a lot. It symbolizes the simple message of " keep doing what you love". No matter how many hardships and obstacles you encounter along the way you need to just push them aside and do what makes you happy. This is one of the first pieces I ever made and still one of my favorites. This image works as a piece of advice for everyone we all need to work to do what we […]

Honestly don’t want to hear about or talk about the upcoming election anymore. All our collective energy ought to be on #Gaza. An end to the conflict, a surrender by Hamas, a release of hostages. Due process for war criminals. New regime in Israel. But most of all, a cessation of bombing and artillery combat. This is our conflict too as Americans because our tax dollars heavily fund one side. If we can’t put forth a peaceful resolution, by any means necessary, what’s the point? #stopwars

I promised you another #HistoryLessonWithBella. However, this one won't bring much joy. It's about #war. Wars that are useless, unjust and only bring pain. So much pain.

This is the #Pozières #Memorial, a World War I memorial which was unveiled in August 1930. It lists the names of 14,657 British and South African #soldiers of the Fifth and Fourth Armies with no known grave who were killed between 21 March 1918 and 7 August 1918, during the German advance known as the #SpringOffensive (21 March–18 July), and the period of Allied consolidation and recovery that followed.

This place is incredibly beautiful and immensely sad. And as a German, I feel very uncomfortable in places like this. Because Germany has brought a lot of suffering into the world. Yes, many other countries have done so too and still do today, but I can only speak from the perspective of a German. I feel ashamed, sad and angry.Why can't we see each other as equals? What is so difficult about being respectful towards all people? What is there to gain from war? I know I won't find answers here. I just feel so helpless ...

Sorry, this is not a beautiful post. But it is one that matters to me. Because of what we have done to eachother. And still do. Look at it!

And by the way: Many of the dead here were just 18 or 19 years old. They were children!

I feel like the world is spiraling towards a horrible fate right now. I really hope that the leadership in the USA can put aside all the petty party politics and get some real diplomacy accomplished. There are no winners in war. We must do everything that we can to achieve peace, however difficult that may be. We will all have to live with the consequences of inaction and failure.
