With each passing day, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza seems to keep getting worse. One is now prompted to pose a question, though by no means the most profound one: maybe the true answer is more speeches and less action. ‘At least, what’s more comforting than an honest speech with one’s hands firmly placed on the plush office chair?

The Power of Words

A world where actions speak louder than words-a, a reality that our leaders have preferred to shout into the void instead. Politicians and diplomats have perfected the art of great oratory-flowing words like a river, full of promise and going precisely nowhere. They wax eloquent on peace, justice, and humanitarian aid. The actual delivery lingers, stuck in bureaucratic red tape and unending debate.

Meetings Over Meaningful Actions

Consider the diplomatic blitzkrieg the United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently conducted. His meetings with the Israeli leaders were full of phrases like “much more needs to be done.” But as those words wagged in the air, the humanitarian crisis intensified, and the question remained: Is there a point when enough of these words is enough, and just talking cannot change the world?

Rhetoric: The Real MVP

‘Rhetoric is a good thing in this theater of international diplomacy. Forget ground troops or humanitarian convoys; let’s gather the boys and girls for a summit where world leaders can nod solemnly, shake hands, and deliver monologues that would give any Shakespearean actor a run for his money. Indeed that’s enough to satisfy the international community, isn’t it?

The Role of the Audience

And what of the audience- those sitting on their sofas, nodding to themselves as they sip their coffee? We, too, are part of this performance.’The interminable speeches provide us with an illusion of progress. We can fume and stamp our feet, write dynamic social media posts, and know deep down that the real action is happening at a tortoise’s pace.

Conclusion: Actions Speak? Maybe Not

Yet, as Gaza burns, one thing is sure: perhaps the world has finally discovered its new mantra: “More speeches, less action.” After all, the speaker’s eloquence matters most in the grand theater of politics. Why bother with tangible solutions when you can drown the problem in words?

So, let’s begin the next round of impassioned speeches. Who knows? Maybe someday, power in words will, by magic, turn into action.’ Till then, however, it would seem we’re content to talk.
