There was a suggestion several years ago in the knesset to change YH to
rosh chodesh iyar (it didnt pass).
Had it passed would CI have skipped hallel that day to make the point (one
could differentiate between full hallel and half hallel though I believe
some say only half Hallel on YH)

BTW I received from Shlomo Pick an English translation of the
speech/article of RAL on the zionism of RYBS
