An opinion piece by Ali Osman Shefayet, published on March 17, 2026, argues that the world is facing a dual crisis of Zionist imperialism and regional dominance, accompanied by a deep moral decline in corporate media. The author claims that certain global and Bangladeshi media outlets prioritize power and propaganda over truth, contributing to the spread of Islamophobia and undermining journalistic integrity.
The article describes Zionism as a dominant political ideology backed by Western powers, particularly the United States, and accuses it of controlling global politics, economics, and information. It also alleges that India’s regional dominance threatens Bangladesh’s sovereignty through political interference, resource control, and cultural influence. The author criticizes Bangladeshi media for serving ruling interests, suppressing dissent, and promoting anti-Islamic narratives.
As a remedy, the piece calls for strengthening patriotic and ethical journalism, raising awareness against imperialism, and protecting Islamic values. It urges citizens to boycott media that serve power rather than truth and to defend national sovereignty through intellectual resistance and truthful reporting.
