In the Netherlands specifically, the group that is lobbying for such accusations is MEK (Mojahedin-e-Khalgh) this group has been very active and wealthy and has been working hard by influencing parliamentary candidates and party members in the house of representatives. I really suggest you look into their role

Maybe time to start discussing if the Israeli flag should be classified as a hate symbol?

This piece raises important questions and some of those questions are plainly legitimate. Analysts and journalists have acknowledged uncertainty around HAYI’s origins and the authenticity of some of its claims, so scrutiny is warranted. But the headline conclusion—that the group was simply “fake” and created for a political purpose—goes further than the public evidence currently allows.

There were real incidents, and investigators themselves have publicly cautioned against premature conclusions while inquiries continue. In a climate already saturated with disinformation, the strongest position is neither blind acceptance nor certainty in the opposite direction: keep asking hard questions, insist on evidence, and distinguish carefully between what has been demonstrated, what remains unclear, and what is still speculation.

There is a familiar pattern in the UK: real incidents occur, but the political narrative sometimes hardens faster than the public evidence. HAYI, IRGC proscription, Palestine Action, and wider terrorism-framing debates all show the same danger: attribution, ideology and security policy can become fused before the facts are fully tested.

That does not mean the threats are imaginary. It means the public should insist on a clear distinction between proven facts, intelligence assessments, political claims, and media amplification.

What about the allegations that the IRGC have connections with the City of London?

The Zionist banking hub of the world? Now that would be interesting to explore!
