: Clearly, then, it is not appropriate to say Hallel on Yom Atzmaut.

Nor on Chanukah?

Besides, what R' Yochananan mishum R' Shim'on ben Yehotzadaq actually
says there on that pasuq is that "laylah she'ein mequdash lachag, ein
ta'un hallel". Which would also exclude Chanukah.

>From context, I would say the gemara is asking why the existence of a
holiday qorban in particular is not sufficient to justify Hallel on Pesach
Sheini. So RY says, because the night is not muqdash to the qorban hachag.

As for Rashi, he is commenting on the quoted pasuq. "The song will be for
you -- on the day that you will be redeemed from the galus." "Like in the
night which will be santified chag -- like the way you are acustomed to
sing on the night which is sanctified chag. And you do not have a nightof
chag to demand shirah except the nights of Pesachim, on their eating."

Rashi is saying that Yeshiah 30:29 promises another holiday in which
Hallel will be said at night. Not a lack of other holidays with Hallel
for lesser reasons, nor even another holiday with Hallel at night before
establishing one to celbrate the complete ge'ulah.

Tir'u baTov!
