mihouse I dont recall seeing anyone say rabbis objected yom hazikaron. He was referring to yom hashoah, which we “observe” on tisha bav as it is a day to mourn all jewish tragedies. Even by the logic that I should mourn fallen soldiers defending a country I dont live in and ideas I dont believe, are they more deserving of their own day than the kedoshim of the holocaust? If we would want to choose an arbitrary day to commemorate, we would choose tisha bav, but this is about extending yom haatzmaut, and commemorating a state, not about any fallen soldiers.
