FROM LENINGRAD TO GAZA
WE DEFEATED HUNGER IN LENINGRAD, WE WON,
WE WILL WIN IN GAZA TOO!
WE DID NOT SURRENDER TO FASCISM,
AND WE WILL NOT SURRENDER TO ZIONISM EITHER!
WE WILL BREAK THE SIEGE!
WE WILL NOT SURRENDER TO HUNGER; WE HAVE DEFEATED IT BEFORE,
WE WILL DEFEAT IT AGAIN!
IMPERIALISM AND FASCISM HAVE ALWAYS USED HUNGER AS A WEAPON AGAINST THE PEOPLE!
YESTERDAY, FASCISM MASSACRED ONE MILLION OF THE THREE MILLION RESIDENTS OF LENINGRAD THROUGH HUNGER—
TODAY, ZIONISM IS MASSACRING THE PEOPLE OF GAZA THROUGH HUNGER!
THE AIM IS TO STARVE THE PEOPLE INTO SURRENDER.
NO!
NEITHER HITLER’S FASCISM, WHICH MASSACRED ONE MILLION IN LENINGRAD,
NOR ISRAELI ZIONISM, WHICH SEEKS TO STARVE TENS OF THOUSANDS IN GAZA INTO SUBMISSION,
WILL EVER FORCE US TO SURRENDER!
WE BROKE THE SIEGE IN LENINGRAD AND WON—
WE WILL WIN IN GAZA TOO!
After Nazi Germany occupied almost all of Europe without facing any resistance, its next target was to invade Soviet territory. The invasion, named “Operation Barbarossa” by the Nazis, would go down in history as the largest military operation ever launched against a people.
Adolf Hitler, even before he came to power, declared in his book Mein Kampf his goal of securing “living space in the East” for the German people.
Operation Barbarossa would advance in three military columns:
the central army would head toward Moscow,
the southern toward Stalingrad,
and the northern toward Leningrad.
The attack on Leningrad, in particular, was more symbolic than strategic.
IT WAS A SPIRITUAL ATTACK—THE CITY BORE LENIN’S NAME.
Hitler wanted to capture the city named after Lenin, the victorious leader of socialism, at all costs, and declare the triumph of fascism over socialism.
Red Army commanders who foresaw the attack mobilized the people of Leningrad for resistance. Train tracks were dismantled to create traps, walls and trenches were prepared,
and the people began producing cannons, bullets, and weapons for the city’s defence.
900 DAYS OF BLOCKADE, 900 DAYS OF HUNGER
Operation Barbarossa began on June 22, 1941. By September 8, 1941, the Nazis had cut the last land connection to Leningrad, isolating the city entirely from the outside world.
Hitler ordered that the city not be captured through assault but instead forced into submission through starvation. Thus began the 900-day siege. On the first days of the siege, the Nazis deliberately bombed food warehouses, destroying 5,000 tons of food.
Their aim: to force the three million residents of Leningrad to surrender through hunger.
But under the leadership of the Party and the Red Army, the people of Leningrad had already organized a resistance plan. After the food stores were bombed, a new decision was made:
a daily bread ration of 125 grams per person. The penalty for stealing bread was death.
The siege, hunger, resistance, and death created their own heroes. Despite heavy bombardments and freezing cold, the people and the army collected all of the city’s cultural treasures and hid them in underground shelters. No value of the people was to fall into fascist hands.
The Nazi siege lasted for 900 days. During this time, one million people were starved to death.
But the people of Leningrad did not surrender. At the end of the 900-day siege, they broke through and defeated the Nazis through historic resistance. Behind this success was the planned, disciplined resistance of the Red Army and the people of Leningrad, motivated by socialist ideology, love for their country, and the invincibility of an organized, fighting people.
THOSE WHO MASSACRED IN LENINGRAD YESTERDAY
ARE MASSACRING THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE IN GAZA TODAY!
In 1948, British imperialism colonized Palestine, ignored the Palestinian people, and helped establish Israel by settling European Jews in the region. From the beginning, Israel acted as an occupying force. Britain, later backed by the U.S., used institutions like the UN to legitimize this occupation and lay the groundwork for decades of dispossession and violence.
Today, what’s happening in Palestine is not just occupation — it is genocide. Entire communities are being destroyed, and the U.S. and Britain remain the main powers enabling it through their ongoing military and political support.
But since 1948, there has been fierce resistance to this occupation, deeply inspiring people around the world. Palestine, the land of child generals, has a history of resistance culture and fighting spirit from ages 7 to 70. The Gaza Strip, surrounded on all sides, has become the symbol of this occupation, massacre, and resistance.
Gaza’s reality is relentless bombardment, shortages of food and water, collapsing hospitals and schools under fire. Turned into a semi-open prison, Gaza has been under unbroken blockade for 17 years. But wherever there is occupation, massacre, and exploitation, there is also resistance.
The same fascism that starved one million in Leningrad is now trying to subdue the people of Gaza through the same tactic.
After the October 7 “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, unable to stomach a historic defeat, Zionist Israel launched a campaign of total destruction against Gaza. In the past two years, Israel has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians. Now, it’s attempting to break the spirit of a people it cannot defeat with bombs—through starvation.
Gaza is completely under blockade, terrorized with constant air and ground attacks, cut off from all outside aid. Israel does not allow any food aid to enter. And when Palestinians try to collect the meagre aid allowed, they are deliberately shot in the head and heart.
Since May 2025 alone, 86 Palestinians—76 of them children—have been killed by hunger.
Statements from mothers in Gaza show the scale of the assault:
“Each night I wonder which of my children will survive until morning, which will die of hunger.”
“The children cry from hunger until they collapse, mothers look on in helplessness. One mother said, ‘I held my baby in my arms knowing he would die of hunger because I had no milk to give him.’”
A July declaration by 27 countries stated:
“Suffering in Gaza has reached new extremes. The Israeli government’s aid distribution model is dangerous, fuelling instability and robbing Gazans of their human dignity. We condemn the cruel killing of civilians, including children, who are trying to obtain basic necessities like food and water. More than 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid—this is horrific.”
The massacre in Gaza continues before the eyes of the whole world.
But despite everything, Zionist Israel cannot break the will of the Palestinian people.
It will never succeed!
WE WON IN LENINGRAD,
WE WILL WIN IN GAZA TOO!
WE DID NOT SURRENDER TO FASCISM,
AND WE WILL NOT SURRENDER TO ZIONISM!
Those who killed one million in Leningrad yesterday have now killed over 50,000 in Gaza in a short time—and continue to kill. Starving a people has always been a method used by the oppressors.
At the Nuremberg Trials in 1949, thanks to Stalin’s insistence, “starvation” was defined as a war crime. Yet, imperialism and fascism have never hesitated to commit this crime. Despite outrage from millions worldwide, Zionist Israel has never stopped committing these crimes—and it won’t.
What will stop Israel’s massacres is the organized resistance of the people—our resistance!
The spirit of the people who won victory in Leningrad and later annihilated 1.5 million Nazi soldiers in the Stalingrad victory was the strength of socialism and popular will.
We will resist the same way in Palestine—and we will win the same way!
Victory will come through the strength of Palestinian mothers who do not hesitate to sacrifice their children for the homeland, and of fighters who choose honourable death and sacrifice over surrender. Palestine will not be saved through a two-state solution, but through the leadership of revolutionary forces and a single state where all peoples live equally—the State of Palestine.
JUST AS WE DEFEATED FASCISM IN LENINGRAD, WE WILL DEFEAT IT IN GAZA TOO!
KILLING PEOPLES THROUGH STARVATION IS A WAR CRIME, JUST LIKE BOMBS AND BULLETS!
ISRAEL MUST BE TRIED AS A WAR CRIMINAL!
IN CONCLUSION:
- Hitler’s fascism killed one million people in the three-million-strong Leningrad through siege.
- Those who committed that massacre in Leningrad are today carrying it out in Gaza.
- Leningrad did not surrender; it resisted for 900 days and won. The Palestinian people will resist and win in the same way.
- We won in Leningrad—We will win in Gaza.
- FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, FREE PALESTINE WILL WIN.
- The Palestinian issue will not be resolved with a two-state solution, but with a single state led by revolutionaries!
- No power can achieve absolute victory against an organized, fighting people!
The only commander that never loses is resistance.
Victory belongs to those who resist—Victory will be ours!
LONG LIVE THE HONORABLE RESISTANCE OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE!
FROM LENINGRAD TO GAZA—WE WILL WIN!
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA—PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!
WE ARE THE PEOPLE, WE ARE RIGHT, WE WILL WIN!
