Avi: Jews were entitled to soveirgnty in EY while the Beis Hamikdash stood. Hence what the original Chashmonoim did to the Greeks was correct. That entitlement to soveirgnty ended with the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash.
What the later Chashmonoim did was incorrect and has no bearing on the original Chashmonoim (their forefathers) from the Chanukah story.
