Essay argues West inverts victim and aggressor since October 7

Original: 7 octobre : le portrait de Dorian Gray de l’Occident Par Richard Abitbol, [7 octobre 2026] Essai sur l’inversion du bour

Writer Richard Abitbol has published an essay titled 'October 7: The Portrait of Dorian Gray of the West', marking three years since the Hamas attack. He argues Western discourse has reversed the roles of perpetrator and victim, accusing parts of the West of 'calling evil good and good evil'. The piece frames this moral inversion as a defining failure of Western conscience since the massacre.

Why now: The third anniversary of the October 7 attack has prompted renewed debate over Western reactions and moral framing of the conflict.
