I got the impression that the main objection was that he hadn't
taken the Jewish population into account when setting the date,

how many non-Jews have even heard of this holiday (let alone know
when it is)

Nor had I, but if you are running the country, you, or at least your
civil servants, ought to know about the impact of a decision on all
the major religions practised in it.



0.4% of the population are Jewish.

We have the world's fifth largest Jewish community.

Even as someone with a Jewish heritage I consider your point nonsense.

Are you suggesting that the government should ignore minority groups?

Trying to invent some bogus insult were there clearly was none is just
nonsense.
