World Leaders Lip Service Filled With Rhetoric

"But it is just when opinions universally prevail and we have added lip service to their authority that we become sometimes most keenly conscious that we do not believe a word that we are saying." ~ Virginia Woolf

"Once we recognize the power of propaganda, we need to ask whether its exercise is consistent with those democratic ideals to which lip-service is commonly accorded." ~ Randal Marlin

"Although we give lip service to the notion of freedom, we know the government is no longer the servant of the people but, at last has become the people's master. We have stood by like timid sheep while the wolf killed - first the weak, then the strays, then those on the outer edges of the flock, until at last the entire flock belonged to the wolf." ~ Gerry Spence

Some world leaders in the United Nations General Assembly are definitely exposing themselves as lip service and pure rhetoric with lack of action for peace, human rights, and prosperity for all peoples.

The majority of the public now are starting to see through the lip service of such speeches filled with promises of peace and human rights at the same time, bombs and missiles are slaughtering and annihilating a group of ethnic people called the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip for the past year.

Such rhetorical promises from these so-called leaders of some countries are hollow.

After these multiple speeches from these so-called leaders of countries, most achieve zero commitments, and seldom follow through with any impactful policy changes or meaningful regional or world changes for peace or to rebuild and recover and reconcile.

An educated person would question, "Do these leaders even know how to build peace, rebuild, recover, or build a meaningful, solid regional Truth and Reconciliation Commission or policy making, among the ethnic groups of that region?"

They don't know how to make peace and to build peace, and to them that is much too hard mentally, and too time consuming work.

Making peace and building peace is much harder than going to war.

There tends to be a lot of pledges to address injustices with in other countries, but at the same time they can't address their own systemic injustices within their own nation-states.

There definitely is a disconnect on a global scale with nation-state leaders spouting off rhetoric and hollow promises without any concrete pathways for reform and future successes for all groups and improvements for failed nation-states.
