intellegent – don’t you know??? the chashmonaim won over the yevanim and regained control over eretz yisrael, which is the current state of israel… flag of the state = blue and white. hence, the chashmonaim were zionists who fought for the land and hashem helped them by making a miracle. that’s where the blue and white comes from.
…anyone gonna try and argue that one???
