. . I was showing that most people honor significant military events in their history like we do the landing at Normandy or the dropping of the atom bomb. Those are somber remembrances. We also sing the Star Spangled Banner and shoot off fireworks while the Blue Angels fly overhead on July Fourth which is really celebrating our declaration - that was made possible by a successful war. For a nation to honor a militarily significant day in their history is not unusual or a bad thing to do. Unless of course, it's the "evil Jewish empire" - in which case they must have been "celebrating . . death of a large number of British civilians" as you put it.

I'm not sure but from the history I've read I suspect the event marked the day when the Jews realized they might have a possibility to survive against very great odds. I guess I can understand why you'd find that offensive.
