No fasting on Chanukkah




שולחן ערוך אורח חיים תרע
בכ"ה בכסליו (מתחילין) שמונה ימי חנוכה, ואסורים בהספד ותענית
670:1 On the 25th of Kislev (start) the eight days of Hanukkah. On them, lamenting and fasting is forbidden...

Dear "rabbis" who are organizing a fast for Gaza,
I am not sure if you are acquainted with the Jewish codes of law, namely the Shulchan Aruch and the Mishnah Berurah. But allow me to introduce you to the halachah which states that fasting is forbidden on Chanukkah. You have organized your fast for the sixth day of Chanukkah. Perhaps you can explain your logic in disregarding the law.
