Western Shift in Awareness?
The article addresses the shifts in Western consciousness regarding the concept of the victim and the conflicts associated with it, especially after the events of October 7. It notes that Israel and Jews are no longer the only victims in this narrative; Palestinians and Iran have been added to the list. The article indicates that these changes have not led to fundamental alterations in Western discourse or policy; rather, they remain superficial phenomena that do not deeply impact reality, with the Western victim narrative remaining fixed and its assigning of blame and perpetrators. This is particularly evident within international policies related to the Middle East. It clarifies that genuine change requires rewriting collective memory and historical narratives, and presenting an alternative account that highlights violations and crimes, rather than continuing the stereotypical image that justifies expansionist and racist policies. The piece emphasizes the importance of intellectual and institutional transformation to achieve real change in perceptions, awareness, and conflict.
