European Greens have always hated the US party. This may seem like politically aligned people asking a fellow traveler to stop but it's not.
The US "Green Party" isn't really a party or even a cohesive group of any sort. They don't actually stand for anything other than "not the democrat". Oh, sure they throw stuff onto a platform for the election to try to convince everyone they stand for something but mostly it's a small fraction of former Democrats who come out of the woodwork every 4 years to obfuscate the presidential election with the net end result of taking a handful or votes that would have otherwise gone to a democratic candidate. After this election is over they will vanish again as though they were never there. This has been their modus operandi since their inception.
Eh, I would say that while there isn't a huge amount of alignment between many of Europe's Green parties, they all kinda hate each other for different reasons. The German and UK Greens have gone through a lot of shit over the years for their stances on Israel (way before the conflict), alongside Nuclear energy.
It's often been a long-running joke that the main barrier for the greens in power is themselves. They'd rather attack each other over issues that don't affect the electorate than try to mount a realistic challenge to govern.
