HC Andersen

AND WITH IT, LIGHT THE WAY TO JUSTICE

The Little Match Girl, the timeless tale by H.C. Andersen, has always spoken of sorrow, struggle, and the faint glimmer of hope. In her last moments, the girl strikes her final matches, her fleeting light symbolizing dreams and warmth in a world filled with coldness. Children are growing up under harsh conditions, fighting for a chance to survive. This mirrors the life of Yahya Sinwar, who as a boy threw his first stone in defiance of a world filled with injustice. Mette Frederiksen may now label him a "hardcore terrorist," but his story, like the little girl’s, is about resistance, survival, and a struggle for something more. His stone and her matches – both symbols of defiance in the face of oppression. The fire from a single match can light the way toward a world where Free Palestine is not just a dream but a reality. These matches serve as a symbol of hope for those who fight every day against the coldness of injustice. Just as The Little Match Girl had her fleeting light, Yahya Sinwar’s stone continues to fly in the face of oppression. Their stories may seem distant, but they carry the same message—no matter how dark the night, no matter how harsh the world, we can strike our match for change.
