Yes, the Zionists 100 years ago turned Chanukah into a celebration of כחי ועוצם ידי, the exact opposite of what it was about throughout our history. But the question we’re discussing here is not about that. The question here is that since there were two miracles, which one should be the ikkar of the celebration, and why does it seem that the author of Ve’al Hanissim had a different view than the one we hold today.
Speaking of which, however, let me point out that the heretical Zionist song מי ימלל, which in its original words is surely chazer treif, can be made kosher simply by changing four words. Here is a kosher version (stressed syllables capitalized):
MI yemaLEL geVOOrot haKEL, oTAM mi YIMneh?
HEN bechol DOR yaKIM hagiBOR go’EL ha’am.
HO! BAyamim haHEm bazman haZEH
Elokim moSHIa ufoDEH
Uvyamenu KOL am yisraEL
YIT’ached yaSHUV veyiga’EL.
