[quote=Anonymous]Lighting the Chanukah lights is a mitzvah totally independent of anything else (just like all the other 612 mitzvot, though I'll admit I don't regularly perform that many of them). Does it feel wrong to light Shabbat candles? Bless challah? Go to shul? It's true that Chanukah's substantive content is a little on the nose against the backdrop of a war largely being planned by messianic far-right zealots and provoked by another band of messianic Islamic death cultists, but the holiday is the holiday. If you're Jewish, celebrating the holiday doesn't in any way obligate you to feel one way or the other about anything that's happening in Israel. (Personally, I'm going to find it pretty bittersweet to celebrate Simchat Torah next year for reasons related to the current war, too, but I'l be going to that, too.)[/quote]
