I am a grandson of an Indonesian war veteran who fought in the independence war (my grandpa survived the war unlike around 100 men of his unit). I am proud to say that my grandfather was one of the heroes for Indonesia yet my father and mother went to study and acquired their postgrad degree in the Netherlands and I was born there too. Personally I have mixed feelings about the apology as I also gain benefit from the Netherlands but I dont think these apology will change anything that has happened or will happen significantly. I just hope that if the Dutch government is truly sincere about the apology they will lend a hand on helping Indonesia with its problems to create a better future for all of us although it will never change what already happened.

Dutch also brought enslaved Indonesians and west Africans to work on a cape colony when they colonized South Africa . Van Riebeeck wanted to enslave the locals who had a year early rescued a Dutch ship and hosted its people with great hospitality. He read their kindness as weakness . The company refused his request to enslave locals because they still felt indebted to how they had not only rescued their employees but kept them in great hospitality till Van Riebeevk came to get them so they approved Van Riebeeck to bring slaves from west Africa and Botavia , later indentured servants from India were brought too .

Well, in my opinion, the reason why the Dutch need to apologize(although I agree violence is happening for both sides), is because the Dutch is the one who started it and basically the agressor. In my school, we taught that the Dutch were very welcomed at first. And then they monopolize the trade and meddling with local conflicts, thus leading to the death of hundred thousands of Indonesians. Well, history is a lesson. And for a bit more POV, my Grandfather is a veteran from Indonesia. He's from Kediri, but stationed at Semarang. He loves telling the story on how he and his squad ambushes the Dutch convoy, and running away from machine guns and mortars while laughing. I swear it. He seems overjoyed and said, "Who said risking life is terrifying? It's fun you know. We run and run, the ground is exploded around us, while the Dutch shooting at us using their machine guns".

My grandfather died to defend Indonesian independence. The Dutch soldiers tortured him to death in the prison. The apology may not bring him back. However, my family have forgiven the Dutch since along time ago. We cannot change the past, but we can make a future: a great one.

[@filetwellington5371]

Decent human beings like you are important. A leading example of how mentally strong the Indonesians are 🤝

[@redityafilzapriatama9385]

Does this have connection with the G20 activities currently taking place in our country? We accept his apology as long as the Dutch government increases the quota for the Orange Tulip Scholarship for the Indonesian students 🙏🙏😀

[@tommyreusse3858]

Whoops. My bad!

[@ivyh5965]

[@gpnindia575]

UK!!!! Learn something.

[@oliva6352]

Yeah that's that we will not be held accountable for something are ancestors did

[@despygurl]

Well, as it should be

[@BurungKicauTerbaik]

we Indonesia take advantage but we do not forget the cruelty of the invaders who oppressed our country

[@rohaimiehashim4402]

if they are really sorry for the action, then those that are responsible should be brought to court marshall. Similar to the Serbs for their genocide in Bosnia. 😢

[@johnchow8372]

These are normal behaviour from ALL Colonial powers!

[@heldinugrahasuherman7438]

Indonesia 1800 to 1945 forgive but not to forget .

[@budisetiono1752]

1500 an pak... bukan 1800

[@ambessaseway5594]

Wow Netherlands is a good example, France would never apologize the War Crimes committed in Algeria/Madagascar where 100TAUSENDs were killed

[@putra_maliki]

yeah imagine being one of the more than 40k unarmed civilians in some province of sulawesi, 15k is some province in java, alone that are killed to scare the Rebel (independence soldier) i don't think it's really mean anything, for me personally i just don't really want to see them again, but as a new generation of Indonesian, take that aside let's work together for the better future...

[@ashadiarif2191]

Waiting for Japan..

[@SewakoRaynor]

Jepang dah lama ngab dia mengakui kesalahan apa yang dia lakukan di Indonesia, mangkanya sekarang banyak kerjasama salah satunya pertukaran Mahasiswa, selain itu Jepang sudah membayar ganti rugi dengan Uang yang banyak

[@wibowopr952]

an apology will be more meaningful if you return a lot of our country's assets that you robbed in the colonial era for you to use as collateral for your country which is stored in a swiss bank

[@herrypurnomo8010]

Dutch, Brithis, Japan..... Ah sudahlah

[@Shad_2k]

Waiting for my dutch draft letter🤝🏽

[@LukyArakunedesu]

No forgiveness to them.

[@muhammadbagasd6359]

When the dutch good indonesia all welcome at the time no need colonializer your mistakes do with war

[@jokoyuwono9951]

As an Indonesian im waiting same apologize from japan government

[@devitaromlah2866]

Youre waiting? Are you born in that era?? FAK YOU!

[@metaxtatic]

as an indonesian, i am really confused with the current state of global politics, why would you apologize for something that your ancestor did? something over which you had no control back then? this is heart-warmingly stupid

[@Staann]

The woke movement has flown over from the US to the Netherlands. I condem the actions of my country in the past but don't feel any guilt since I wasn't even born in that time. Let the past rest and focus on the future, Netherlands and Germany, for example, have been eachothers greatest trading partners since the end of WW2. Lets hope that this will also happen between the Netherlands and Indonesia!

[@峽羽773]

@@Staann Well, let's not forget Japan hasn't apologized for their war crime committed in Asia. Especially the Nanking massacre in 1937, killing of civilians. Do you know the Japanese government now even alter the view of wars in their schools tried to justify the cause of wars they waged in the past!

[@YouOnUsPath]

Indeed, each person responsible for their own action, its just diplomatic way in state level, same like when your family did something bad to the neighbours etc just normal thing to do, plus a reminding to the new generations also about history lesson so nobody repeat the same mistake. You get the whole points? Start from this "apologize", at least our stolen artefacts can go home to Indonesia.

[@YouOnUsPath]

@@Staann of course you doesnt need feel guilts as new generation lol each person responsible for their own action, this "apologize events" is just diplomatic state level purpose between 2 country, since still many the victims still alive and our stolen artefacts in Netherlands etc. And this just for reminding purpose for the real new generations (generation millenia etc) about history so everybody can take lesson from it and nobody repeat the same mistake. Its never about the woke lol but if you follow the geopol you will know the real spider-web. I am as Indonesian 90s generations doesnt has that boomers mentality as well and doesnt has crazy mind for asking you as new generation take responsible for action did by older generation in the past lmao even of course all my grand grand fathers and grand fathers is veterans (all of them already passed away, plus nobody from them teach for hates each dutch person of course not lol we are muslim not allow to teach hates plus if someone ask apologize we should give forgiveness). but today still many the victims from first generation and second generation which still alive and remember it. So this "apologize" thing is specific for them and state level to the whole Indonesian.

[@TKDragon75]

Sure it was violent on all sides, it was war. But so was Vietnam, and Iraq, and WW2. To say it's okay to commit massacres just because "its war" is like saying Hitler didn't do anything wrong. It is in fact, almost exactly the same as saying that. "It's just war, there is gonna be violence." The Dutch: Murdered up to 100k Indonesians after already enslaving them for 300 years, probably killed way more before the war even happened.

[@GunawanMrGugun]

How about Japan's war crimes in Indonesia? Has japan apologized to Indonesia for their war crimes?

[@kraijom319]

Japan hasn't even recognize their horrendous atrocities in china, what makes you think they'll do it in Indonesia

[@oviokta4063]

sorry is not enough, return all ancient treasures and all Indonesian wealth that was stolen by the Dutch during the colonial period

[@thedukeofholland3926]

They offered it several times. But often ID government would refuse to take it in.

[@abdullahiissack9302]

Sorry is a sorry word act like you mean it, Fix any problem you caused.

[@consiglierecambodia9672]

Maybe Rutte can give back the book with Sundanese language (Bahasa Sunda) what the dutch stole from Java. That would be a statement. Then only big words...

[@emekaokoroafor1678]

Even in war there are laws.

[@azuranurul4852]

Dutch war criminal should be punish

[@mandoist]

Hey Marky... are you also going to apologize to the thousands of sick and dying in 4 or 5 months, and all because you lifted all the Covid safety measures this week?

[@lulin8870]

hmm Indonesia should be careful. I think they want something again from you
