This is the Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel, the *Jewish* state. What is so wrong that the *Jewish* state will remember 6 million *Jews* that were exterminated by Nazis?
Hey, we also have Independence Day, and guess what - it is not July 4th. Shouldn't Israel celebrate July 4th? Well, no, because July 4th is the *US* Independence day.
Same with Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. There is an International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and it is January 27th. Today is NOT the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, since today is NOT January 27th. Today is the Holocaust Remembrance Day in ISRAEL. Here is a quote:
The internationally recognized date comes from the Hebrew calendar and corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on that calendar. It marks the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. In Hebrew, Holocaust Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah. When the actual date of Yom Hashoah falls on a Friday, the state of Israel observes Yom Hashoah on the preceding Thursday. When it falls on a Sunday, Yom Hashoah is observed on the following Monday.
