The Dutch are experts in genociding

Can you prove "the" dutch who voted for this declaration are experts in genociding?
Or is it just shithouse slogans?

The Netherlands currently "own" more territory outside of Europe than in it. Guessing that land wasn't exactly obtained peacefully or the existing people there treated particularly well during the... Acquisition.

Also, a huge number of ongoing geopolitical and socioeconomic problems in places like Southeast Asia and Africa are directly caused by Dutch colonialism. Actually, this is true for literally every European country and their "former" colonies, a fact which they conveniently overlook when talking about human rights in those regions.
