Hate & Fear By: Liz Breier / This & That You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear, you’ve got to be taught from year to year, it’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear— you’ve got to be carefully taught! You’ve got to be taught to be afraid of people whose eyes are oddly made, and people whose skin is a different shade — You’ve got to be carefully taught. You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late, Before you are six or seven or eight, To hate all the people your relatives hate — You’ve got to be carefully taught! Growing up, I loved listening to albums of Broadway shows, and one of my favorites is, South Pacific. Rogers & Hammerstein wrote the music and lyrics of this classic. I listened to the album over and over in my bedroom and to this day, know every word of each song. The lyrics quoted above have always stayed with me. Maybe because I was not raised that way. No one in my family ever referred to anyone with an adjective. It was more a MLK attitude of character vs. color (or religion or ethnicity). I preface my article with this because I want to be clear to Vegas Voice readers that my sadness and outrage at the October 7 attack in Israel is not just because it was my fellow Jews that were beheaded, burned, raped, shot and taken hostage. It is because no one should suffer that treatment. Anyone who would intentionally and unprovoked attack innocent, unarmed civilians is barbaric. War is ugly and mean. Over the centuries, as humankind has developed more sophisticated ways of hurting each other, from rocks and sticks to bows and arrows, bayonets, firearms, ovens, gas chambers, atomic bombs, the ugliness grows more and more atrocious. In a perfect world, there would be no war, but sadly that is not reality. All this said, I also believe in defense. If someone hits me, I will put up my arms to defend myself. If they hit me again, I would strike back with the strongest measure I have at my disposal - be it fist or firearm. I would not, however, sit back and let someone pummel me without retaliation. If I am being hurt, I will not consider the source, or in any way temper my response because of who or what that individual may be. Certainly, I expect no less from Israel. Israel’s self-defense may seem harsh to some, but I do not see any alternative for the lives of the remaining hostages and the citizens of Israel (which includes many ethnicities, not just Jews) to do what must be done to secure themselves. This is especially true because the attackers have stated unequivocally that they will do it again and again. If anyone chooses to not believe the atrocities of October 7 and beyond, then I fear they are being less than honest with themselves and may, unfortunately have succumbed to “being taught to hate and fear.” Liz Breier is an ex-New Yorker who retired to Florida for 24 years before deciding that Nevada means home to her.
