As RMB has mentioned, we had a very long thread on this on Avodah - 
which you really should read.  Since RMB has, however, only pointed you 
in the direction of his blog, here is the reference to one of my 
postings on the subject on Avodah,  - in which I link the whole 
question, via at teshuva of ROY, to the modern question as to whether 
one should say full Hallel on Yom Hatzmaut and Yom Yershalayim with a 
bracha.  See:
