1. Ha-Shem got upset at us for being too happy when Ha-Shem drowned the Egyptians, so we are supposed to celebrate a war over the Greeks.
2. Most of the “Greeks” were OTD Yidden. Note the many parts of the “al ha-Nissim” that only make sense if you assume they were Jews (Tahorim over Tameiim – but goyim are neither, specificially saying we won over minim, not goyim, etc.). We should make a big deal over killing Yidden (even if they were OTD)???????
3. We won a battle but lost the war. That period in Jewish history ended with the Hellenized Romans destroying Yerusalayim.
