DY: One does not have to believe in the same thing that the Secular Zionists did in order to thank HKBH on days like Yom Ha’atzma’ut and Yom Yerushalayim or to commemorate the Holocaust on the day that they chose. I personally think they chose the wrong day. That doesn’t mean that I should grossly disrespect those who died and survived by trumpeting my disagreement with the seculars on this issue.
And even though the name in Israel is about Gevurah, if you were ever in any Dati Le’umi or “Modern Orthodox” day school, you’d know that the entire day is somber and about the deceased and the survivors, not about the fighting.
