US President at UN GA, 23 September 2025

Donald Trump’s speech of 1 hour at the United Nations (the world’s top forum with all 194 countries assembled) was not just full of ridiculous, personal comments but with factually and scientifically completely incorrect statements. Such as:

• His inability to recognize climate change and global warming as announced by the UN in 1987 and now in full force on the entire planet, as well as its scientifically tested solutions namely drastic reduction in CO2 emissions (hence drastic reduction in use of fossil fuels) and of course their replacement by renewable energy (wind, sun, hydro, biofuels).

• On the war in Gaza, he kept stating the (necessary) release of the Israeli 20 hostages, not a word about the 70,000 Palestinians murdered and tens killed daily by the assault on Gaza City.

• Completely ignoring the United Nations Charter which stands for equality between men and nations and above all for peace. He did not recognize all other countries present at the UN GA as equal, which they are. He spoke at length about his own country’s internal politics (criticizing his predecessor Biden) which is not allowed/acceptable at the UN.

• Refusing renewable energy and urging countries to go back to gas and coal and other fossil fuels (which, as we know, are finite non-renewable resources).

Full of inaccuracies and major incorrect/false utterings.

Sad to see such a man as President of one of the greatest countries in the world!

A lesson from history: Hitler rounded up Jews, Gypsies and others to be sent to concentration camps, in 1942-45, where these people were gassed to death using Zyklon B gas. Imagine the USA and UK offering Hitler at the time to buy stocks of Zyklon gas from them! And better still, to be paid from a large gift of money these 2 powers would have given Nazi Germany!

The USA, in opposing a resolution at the UN Security Council for a ceasefire in Gaza, meant “let the genocide continue.” Making the USA and its President Trump supporters and collaborators in the genocide (killing and elimination) of the Palestinian people. The ICC take note for future court actions relating to this attempted genocide. By supplying Israel with weapons the USA became a collaborator in this war. And by giving Israel 14 billion US $ from which to purchase these weapons, the USA became a participant in this genocide.

It’s still time to stop now.

This genocide of Palestinians must stop now! All 191 countries, all members of the United Nations, now in session in New York, to issue a warning to the State of Israel for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and other necessary actions. (With a warning of complete isolation, trade, and communication sanctions to Israel if it does not act now.)

An immediate ceasefire as well as the free flow of food and medical aid into Gaza, gradual retreat of Israeli troops (after Hamas action is fully completed and with external aid) the reconstruction of Gaza: its habitats, roads, hospitals, schools, production system, trade, and policing.

Equally, issue a warning to Hamas for the immediate release of all hostages held as well as return of any bodies of those who died in custody. The formal replacement of the name and constitution of Hamas as an organization by the PPP (Palestine People’s Party) or alternative appellation with as main organizational objective the governance and development of independent Gaza and Palestine. With the same membership and responsibilities such as that of the Ministry of Health etc.
