A survey by Ipsos this month found 52% of the public said they had an unfavourable view of the Green leader, up six points since September and the first time more than half of the population had expressed a negative opinion of Mr Polanski.
asserted
half → find → Polanski
Just 16% said they had a positive view of the leader and his overall approval rating has fallen to minus 36, the lowest of any national party leader.

Israel → ask → borders
It’s constantly invading other people’s land.
asserted
It → invade → land
“Ultimately, people have a right to exist, and what I’m sat here saying – and I don’t think is in any way controversial – is I want Israelis and Palestinians to live together, side by side, to be able to self-determine themselves, to all be able to vote, to all be able to have freedom, the right to live in freedom and security.
asserted
Israelis → have → freedom
”
Put to him that his party’s policy is that there should be a single Palestinian state, rather than the two-state solution, and asked if he disagrees with that, he said “yes” and added: “I don’t think it’s up to western governments, and certainly not the UK Government… the Green Party of England and Wales, to decide what the future looks like for Palestine and Israel.”
Mr Polanski has faced both internal and external criticism of his leadership after the party conference in Brighton backed a motion describing Zionism as “racism” in a vote Mr Polanski did not take part in.
The leader of the Jewish Greens, Vivien Lichtenstein, called for Mr Polanski to resign and said she is considering leaving the party.

she → put → party
