I mean, I think he's handled it pretty well. He srill comes across as extremely genuine in his interviews. If he resigned, I think it would be a loss for the Greens and a big win for everyone else.

This is such a manufactured storm in a teapot, I thought the general public knew to laugh at this shit by this point
Maybe the Greens should prioritise the environmental aspects of their politics and TACTICALLY place social domestic issues second to those (though work to show how social policies link with environmental ones). The right-wing media has been able to hijack Green foreign policies and use the anti-semitism strategy they refined against Corbyn's Labour. Green's haven't pushed back hard enough on the "populists" label they've been given and the idea they're a mirror image of the far-right.
The electorate isn't the same as intellingent, aware politically interested people. Half of the electorate are half-asleep at the best of times and just want someone to tell them who to vote for. They expect Greens to be "Green" and, the Green Party does need to take this into account. At a time when the climate crisis is the worst we've experienced where are all the protests? It's like there's been a decision not to make a big deal of this and channel protest into electoral work instead. I'd be interested to know if this was actually the case.
Its his third own goal as leader.

It's hard to fight the establishment, the greens have a lot of campaigning to do. Go Zack Polanski!
the fact that the entire british media is out to destroy the only jewish leader of a political party just shows how antisemitic the british media is.
