Anarchism
Anarchism is a social and political theory and practice that works for a free society without domination and hierarchy.
Social Ecology
Social Ecology, developed from green anarchism, is the idea that our ecological problems have their ultimate roots in our social problems. This is because the domination of nature and our ecology by humanity has its ultimate roots in the domination humanity by humans. Therefore, the solutions to our ecological problems are found by addressing our social and ecological problems simultaneously.

Quotes
Poetry and imagination must be integrated with science and technology, for we have evolved beyond an innocence that can be nourished exclusively by myths and dreams.
~ Murray Bookchin, The Ecology of Freedom
People want to treat ‘we’ll figure it out by working to get there’ as some sort of rhetorical evasion instead of being a fundamental expression of trust in the power of conscious collective effort.
~Anonymous, but quoted by Mariame Kaba, We Do This 'Til We Free Us
The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.
~Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.
~Murray Bookchin, "A Politics for the Twenty-First Century"
There can be no separation of the revolutionary process from the revolutionary goal. A society based on self-administration must be achieved by means of self-administration.
~Murray Bookchin, Post Scarcity Anarchism
In modern times humans have become a wolf not only to humans, but to all nature.
The ecological question is fundamentally solved as the system is repressed and a socialist social system develops. That does not mean you cannot do something for the environment right away. On the contrary, it is necessary to combine the fight for the environment with the struggle for a general social revolution...
~Abdullah Öcalan
Social ecology advances a message that calls not only for a society free of hierarchy and hierarchical sensibilities, but for an ethics that places humanity in the natural world as an agent for rendering evolution social and natural fully self-conscious.
~ Murray Bookchin

This website is hosted by the Israeli government. This is just propaganda pushed by the very same country deliberately weaponizing starvation against the palestinian population in Gaza, as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have pointed out.
The food insecurity in Gaza has reached famine-level by now, as the latest ICP analysis has concluded. The WHO, FAO, WFP and UNICEF have assessed this report and are calling for an immediate ceasefire and an adequate inflow of humanitarian aid. The current amount of aid coming in, as is monitored and restricted by Israel, is wholly inadequate. People are dying of starvation right now.. I quote
Oxfam for instance has repeatedly called out the obstruction of humanitarian aid by the Israeli government. This pattern of obstruction is recurring and still happening today.
So saying "Aid is coming in." is a wildly disingenuous claim. "Hey everyone, we delivered a single loaf of bread to a starving population requiring a shit ton more to survive so actually aid is coming in!" Fuck off with your whitewashing of crimes against humanity.
Even israeli NGOs such as B'Tselem are accusing Israel of committing a genocide against the palestinians. This accusation has been affirmed both by the United Nations as well as the International Association of Genocide Scholars — and that's all just icing on the cake considering there are open ICC arrest warrants against Israeli government officials for warcrimes and crimes against humanity.
By the way: one of the crimes against humanity listed in Netanyahu's arrest warrant is the crime of "starvation as a method of warfare".
Got any non-zionist sources for this? Or do you just enjoy playing devil's advocate for genocidal maniacs?
gtfoh
Try citing a single source that doesn't repeat israeli government claims and I might take you seriously.
... Israel claims, according to your link.
Haaretz is also an Israeli newspaper. The difference is that they're not gov controlled and thus verify themselves.
