His English is so good that he sounds English.
In fact, this guy speaks English better than me and I'm English.
Mostly everyone speaks english like that in the netherlands, even when they're speaking their own language between them you can catch a thing or two because they use english in between it.
that is not the only language he is also fuend in dutch rusian itailan german and french i think but yah that meaks me think we sould try to speak better english
is0zy Yeah, but usually when Dutch people speak English, you want to close your ears asap... Most of them have a horrible accent!

It really depends on the person... I'm Dutch, and I think I sound fine, as do many other people I know. Some are really bad, yes. Don't generalize and make hateful comments though. That's not very nice. These people are trying their best.
Then you need to be scared. Timmermans reverts to a Dutch accent when he gets worked up, so if he sounds English here it's because he had it all pre-planned, including the crying, for his own political gain.
It's sad to see all the hateful discussions going on here. We're only a small country used to living in peace. The death toll is so immense for only 17 million inhabitants. if you'd compare this to a country like America, imagine 3600 deaths. It is a HUGE loss for us. Please try to be respectful to each other, there's no need for all this hatred! Every human life lost over war is one too many.
Oh God, I’m crying listening to him. Still painful to watch this.
Most of these people were all from the same area, the area I’m from, around the cities amsterdam and haarlem. Too many people I know indirectly know someone who died in that plane crash. I live 5 minutes from a burial place where a family grave from this plane lies. The loss was enormous.
Even 7 years after this disaster it hits me hard. I was 11 years old when it happened and I remember crying when I saw this speech as a dutchman. Now I am 18 years old and able to understand this disaster even better. I salute you mister Timmerman, watching this makes me proud to be part of this country and society. We must all stand together in difficult times!!! (My deepest condolences to all people who lost a loved one on mh17)
i was 16 it was the first thing that captivated our nation since 9/11 and and 9/11 i was to young to understand. but now i understand.
The most impressing speach i have ever heard from a politician, the Dutch minister of foreign affairs
Australia and The Netherlands Delegate to UN should be honored for all they are doing and for this heartwarming speech...I cried....
JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED.
NO MATTER WHAT.
what a speech I am Canadian but am proud of our close Dutch allies :)
@Dennis Landman no
He is using a story that did not happen... very wrong.

he is a hypocrite..a liar.....yack
I have lived in Netherlands for over 6 years by now and I've never known it's such a tough nation til this moment. thumb up for the Dutch.
very much thanks, i get why. We are very chill and layedback but if you touch anyone of us... you have another thing coming. MH17 made us mad we demanded action instantly while the world stood back.
Words can not describe... what a tremendous heartbreaking loss this is. I don't even know what to say, because whatever I do say - it doesn't matter. This has happened, and it's horrible. My deepest sympathies.
yeah it's hard to find words for it
Just seeing video of the motorcade from the airport is stirring, plus this speech.
I wonder if there will ever be a suspect, given that much has been done to trample on any evidence, both prior and post the incident.
Michael Tucker
Unfortunately this has happened in an area with civil war and on Russian ground. The govts of the West must have had knowledge this 'delay' would happen because the matter is so sensitive. let's say you are at war with your neighbors, their cat suddenly dies on your ground. You are reluctant to let the 'enemy' on your ground and in your house with many men/women to 'investigate'. because you feel it is a provocation. what would you do?
Exactly the point! This is so damn convenient for USA en EU and NATO to go and brainfuck the hell out of Russia. And Russia probably knows this.
Mattias Stein "Russian ground"? Go check a map.
Michael Tucker
Yea there is but the US government is protecting them : www.malaysiandigest.com/world/512066-us-analysts-conclude-mh17-downed-by-aircraft.html
I'm British but I live in the Netherlands and this has really touched me too.. All life is precious.
Een politicus, een diplomaat spreekt met zijn hart. Heel veel respect voor deze man.
Het is een leugenaar, niemand heeft iets gestolen, en het is nog maar de vraag of de echte daders ooit bekend zullen worden!!
"...We owe it to humanity..."
Well stated, well stated
that was heartbreaking to listen to
He's a mediocre actor. How can that be heartbreaking? Are you so gullable?
Respect for this man. As a Dutch man myself im really proud.
Wow... jeezz.. btw Minister Timmermans his english is like amazingly good!
My deepest sympathy to families of the victims. I cry along with the Dutch. We Brazilians are shocked.
I still have no words for this tragedy.....Mister Timmermans...says it all...#respect. LOVE & PEACE
As a Dutchman I'm actually shocked reading the comments on this video. Frans Timmermans did a tremendous job translating the feelings of all the Dutch on the plane crash in a speech of about 6 and a half minutes. That is, especially at the moment he had deliver those words, an achievement on it's own. Don't forget, we are a small country, a disaster like this indirectly hits all the people of the Netherlands.I know several people who had friends, coworkers or even familiy who were on that plane. Everyone I know somehow has a link to people traveling with MH017 on the 17th of July. This is not just "like a 100 people", or 194, or 298 people who died in a plane crash. This is the result of a huge mistake made in a region which has their own problems, and now makes it our problem also. Not in a way of participating in a war, but of deep greef of the loss of our fellow citizens, who where just going on holiday or a journey with other purposes, which have nothing to do with war.
I'm not blaming Russian citizens for this, nor Ukranians. As citizens of all the countries in the world we only have one interest: to live in peace, in our own countries but also together worldwide. So why bring up Palestine and Israel, which have nothing to do with the plane crash of a Malasyan aircraft or Dutch Citizens? We all have our own reasons for greefing over people keeping slaughtering other human beings. But in commenting on this video, only one thing is really relevant. Let's all realise that no matter what is going on in this world, we all want peace. We all want to achieve something in life that really matters. War isn't such a thing. Keeping our respects for the victims of MH017 IS.
Eens
Vreselijke man die daar even als een Britse priester met nagemaakt accent een act gaat opvoeren.
@@denhaagnl88 Wat bedoel je?
@@erikdorresteijn9876 Welk gedeelte is te lastig voor je? Dan leg ik het uit.
@@denhaagnl88 wat een mensenkennis heb jij zeg, pfff
Dat is "ONZE" Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken, The only one who is real! Ik kan voor deze man alleen maar bewondering hebben! Mijn respect voor deze man!
Ieder heeft zijn eigen mening.
Wat hij hier verkondigde ..mijn vraag was en is nog steeds .
Wat een toneel stuk ..hij maakte misbruik van ..verdriet en pijn van fam .en vrienden ...
He is saying what we all are feeling respect
Why do people make comments asking why these speeches aren't being made for other causes? He made this speech because that's his job: To react to the problems of the country he is taking part in governing. If this crash happened to a plane connected to France, he wouldn't have made this speech, both because it wasn't related to his country nor his job to speak up. I agree that any unfair death deserves a speech, but not from someone who has no relation to the event. Rather than dwell on the speeches that aren't made, maybe instead focus on the ones that are made, and show a little respect for the tragic event?
Apparently his 'job' ended with his final 'thank -you' to his audience. A sloppy political investigation, a biased report, unproven charges and a possible perpetrator sitting on the 'investigation' has left what could be significant parts of the plane and its passengers still strewn across eastern Ukraine. Three years late and million 'crocodile tears' shy.
Great respect for the way Frans Timmermans held his speech. Its a perfect reflection of how we all feel. The words are comming from the bottom of our hearts. Very well done mr Timmermans.
Perfect speech! Proud of our minister and Dutch government. For the Russian people, we dont blame you. We blame the Russian government.
R.I.P... It could be two BUKs. Ukrainian fighter jets shot at Donetsk/Lugansk killing civilians. Russia could send a BUK to help rebels. Ukraine learned it and shot down MH17 making it looks like Russian BUK did it. Years before, Siberia Airlines Flight 1812 was a commercial flight shot down by the Ukrainian Air Force over the Black Sea on 4 October 2001, en route from Tel Aviv, Israel to Novosibirsk, Russia.
With lots of apreciation to Mr. Timmermans, Minister of Foreign Affairs, who hits the nail with this speech.
If we ever had a reason to go to war it was back then.
Respect.....
This tragedy is so sad, i actually have some tears in my eyes after hearing this, best wishes from germany! I hope you the bodies will return to their loved ones soon!
Bedankt, Thank you, Mijnheer Timmermans, you make me proud to be Dutch. You use the right words we all want to use as one Nation standing as ONE by each of the relatives of our victims. No more hatred. We mourn as one Nation and find the strength all together, one day, to bring all those thugs to a court to face justice and be sentenced.
Not all Russians are subject to state propaganda. We also regret the terrible tragedy
Tremendous Respect for the Russian civilians who’re aware of the nature of the Russian government and it’s actions.
Just out of curiosity, you don’t have to tell me but what do you think of the invasion of Ukraine?
This is the kind of talk I want to hear from Dutch politicians at this moment.
No waffle but an emotional and resolute promise of action.
"We will leave no stone unturned".
Justice needs to be served in this case and justice has to be swift.
So plz unturn the stone about multiple countries who knew about those rockets being there.... In Holland this knowledge of those rockets and not acting to it's importance means they are also guilty for the law.... USA, France UK, etc (and maybe even dutch govermen/intelegence....); make them pay!!! Leave no stone untruned!!! Guess.... not....lol
Yet it is only talk, meanwhile journalists are at the crashsite but our "experts" are staying in their hotel overthere because it is too dangerous.
And the Ukranian militairy just happened to start a full campain on and around the crashsite as the experts, who were a week late ffs, came in.
Talking about something and then not doing it is exactly why we need to get rid of these bullshit politicians
I feel that he speaks not only for the Dutch, but also for all the countries who lost people in this horrendous crime.
What a champ! He's so right about everything he says.
Never in my life has one politician spoken my exact thoughts as yesterday. I think I can say on behalf of our nation and the wide number of responses I've heard and seen that never a politician has spoken our feelings, thoughts and sorrow so well as Timmermans. I know my Dutch as a people that are tough, not emotionally fragile by design, and straight forward in thinking, we have a down to earth way of thinking which sometimes is misunderstood by the world. But never have I seen my people and myself so defeated as this. I'm proud of the way we handled it at first, still sort of grounded that this all was a very tragic mistake. But the way the things occured after broke us. The looting, the touching stuff, the black mail to give a kid's drawing back for two beers, the claiming bodies where dead before take off, blame games, valse victim games, lying about thr black boxes, letting bodies rot, blocking the train and teams, unwanted media exposure, international press hunting down families of victims. It's sickening. We have work to do to get back on our feet, we have to dig deep in order to not go pissed off crazy over this. #bringthemhome and great love to all grieving their lost ones in every country. ♡
You described my feelings about this speech perfectly. Just like Timmermans described the feelings of our nation perfectly. I came here because I just read Igor Girkin has been arrested in Russia for being too critical at the Kremlin. They probably won't hand him over to us (he got a life sentence here). But at least he'll rot in a Russian prison somewhere. Still, it doesn't feel like justice to me.
from indonesia...the deepest sympathies for all mothers, fathers, children of the passengers mh17, thanks to the minister frans for your very calm speech for this horrible murders.......words cannot describe the sadness of families left behind....
I'm very proud of my country and the sense of solidarity this tragic event evoked. This shouldn't have happened, but this country will be united to help each other through. Anyone who does not believe me: I invite you to watch the ceremony of last Tuesday and especially the drive towards Hilversum when the first 40 body arrived. It's downright heartwarming to see how united we stand at such an event.
Great speech and i can say from the hearth. Strange how this tragedy, not only for the Netherlands, but for the whole world, can lead to discussions about the Middle East. Our thoughts are with the lives lost with by the crash of this civili airplane above the Ukraine (probable shot down) and to the people of Ukraine where war is spreading in a dangerous way.
itwas a great speach!
It did spread, you were right. The Netherlands is usually a pretty 'dove' country but on the Ukriane war we are very hawkish. And I think this is why. Great speech. He actually has a pretty decent shot to become our prime minister after the next elections in november.
thank you for a very meaningful speech. as a Malaysia, would like to say thank you for the honor that has been given to a crash victim MH17. May God bless them
RESPECT ....!
bedankt Frans voor alles wat je tot nu toe hebt gedaan voor alles nederlanders in deze ramp! Chapeau
Beautifully spoken and straight from the heart. Respect!
That was powerful, wonderful speaker and I hope his voice is heard.
I salute you and thank you Minister Timmermans for these words full of grief. It must have been hard for you, sir. This speech is now Dutch history.
Frans Timmermans, a Minister of FA we may be proud of. A righteous, sincere and warmhearted man with a great set of communication and language skills. (RP?)
He has an upper-class British accent. Great speech though. I saw a picture in the newspaper of a Dutch mother and son who took a selfie just as the plane was taking off on their way for holidays in Malaysia. Heart-breaking. They looked so happy in the photo.
3:18: within 2 or 3 days..you see images of some f#ck..removing the wedding band from their hands.
Didn't expect that from our minister of foreign affairs, way to go
Gethijsum Thug*
Thug was the word i believe
Een speech een paar dagen na de tragedie. Niemand wist nog hoe het precies was gegaan. Timmermans hield een emotionele speech, waarin hij zich afvroeg hoe de laatste momenten waren. Voor dramatisch effect, zeker. Een jaar later wisten we hoe snel het vliegtuig uit elkaar was gevallen al in de lucht dankzij het rapport van de Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid. Dat was vlak na de tragedie onbekend.
Het is een fantast puur sang, ik denk dat maar weinig Voorschotenaren er op gaan stemmen.
@@thedukeofholland3926met zijn klimaatdode laatst angstzaaier maar het is al beslist dat hij de nieuwe premier wordt dan wordt het nog erger dan onder Rutte mark my words
Heb met emotie geluisterd naar onze minister en ben trots op zijn woorden.
Het zal me altijd bij blijven.
Thank you, Mr. Minister, for the honesty and the humanity your speech. I am proud of your taking the issue as it is and frankly expressing your feelings.
My heart goes out to you Sir. Praying that true justice be served :'(
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. zo hoort de minister van BZ te spreken, en ook nog in P.E.R.F.E.C.T. engels! Echt geweldig en oprecht!!!
My friend Rob van Keulen, his wife and two young sons were aboard. One of his sons, Allard, was one of the children whose passport was shown on television. Spin of any sort is unwelcome. They were lovely, lovely people. Your respect is appreciated.
Wat een speech zeg! Zelfs na zoveel jaar, het stoom komt uit z'n oren, maar toch zo netjes kunnen blijven.
indrukwekkend, waardig en krachtig.
Thats a REAL heartfelt speech... brngs home the real pain and the disgust how the innocent people have been treated
I am so sorry. My prayers are with you. God Bless you.
the most powerfull speech of 2014, first time i think a politician deserves a bigger paymand then what he is getting, a true hero in time of need
This horrendous tragedy just breaks our heart and I personally have not stopped crying at the very thought (which is incomprehensible) of what these victims endured and pray with all our heart that God gives their family and loved ones the courage and strength to carry on... R.I.P. from the Auer family in Sydney, Australia
we are not wildmen from texas , we will go through international law, no country should be above the law, but we will have justice,,, justice is the opposite of revenge.
Great words from a great man!
This is devastating :-(
May they have passed without much fear or pain and may they have found peace after this life. I keep hoping that the sudden decompression and impact, shattering of the plane was so great no one felt a thing. I really want to believe that most went quickly. Poetin, don't you worry Karma is a bitch.
A stewardess told me that they pass out after a few sec.Because there is almost no oxygen and -60 gr.
grief anger despair
the more I see it the less understand the logic of war
lets unite, raise our voice, get active, end all wars!!!!
I give this man 10/10 for his speech....touching and true and i give this man 20/10 for his excellent english...almost NO accent, and this for a dutchman. I'm rly impressed!
But what he says is true...Europe is just stood there and watched...
Respect.
Very touching speech. Ukraine feels and expresses sorrow for all those who were killed on that horrible day. Stay strong!
And we now stand side by side. Never give up.
God, make this man head of EU !
God save our neighbourcountry Netherlands,
we are glad, to be with you, creating our future together.
and as are we! living next to such a Nation like Germany in these troubled times my friend:( Germany after the 2nd WW has been the voice of reason in many occassions and glad to say were on the same team:)
The Minister of hearts
respect
We, the Dutch people, will never forget this tragedy or forgive those who are responsible!!! Ever!!!!
I'm not a fan of this guy but he gained a lot of my respect in the way he handled this tragedy. Good speach, every single word of it!
Echt prachtige speech, had ik niet verwacht van hem. En is het beste Engels ook nog.
Goosebumps and still not forgotten!
This. What a great speech!
I agree. Reminds me of Winston Churchill.
What an emotional yet very proud and factual speech. This is the right response and communication style. This is a terrible disaster and the responsible should be held accountable.
Rest in Peace for all the victims, this is so a sad sad story.. This makes everyone cry
Its so sad . I cant find any words.
superb speech!
All these years later and Putin has showed no remorse. This is part of the reason why sending weapons to Ukraine has received so much support among NATO nations. This isn't just an altruistic act, it's also in our own interest to make Russia face consequences for its evil.
Hebben wij als Nederland ooit zo'n kundige minister gehad van onze buitenlandse vertegenwoordiging ? Wat een speech in accentloos Engels.
Chapeau Mr. Timmermans !
Ja Ben Bot! Jarenlang Hoog gerankte diplomaat geweest en kreeg met zijn ervaring toch mooi 2 Hollandse kinderen uit Syrie weg zonder bloed vergieten! Het mooie was dat hij ze zelf ging ophalen! Ook dat heeft een prijs verdient.
This man has a good heart
very well spoken, I listened twice the second time the impact was even bigger
I fully agree it is absolutely shocking. Hopefully this message will get across as this is just not acceptable like so many other areas with the treatment of humans and especially the children. May they all R.I. P. and condolences to Family & Friends.
All condolences to family and friends
Makes me cry everytime! Respect!
Ik heb respect voor deze man, een man die zijn gevoelens uit en dit deelt met de hele wereld. Een man met gevoel en een hart op de juiste plek.
I have respect for this man, a man who expresses his feelings and share this with the world. A man with feelings and a heart in the right place.
als ik zo al die reacties lees schaam ik me, is dit nou hoe laag we zijn gegaan? kunnen we nou voor 1x eens niet ruzie maken over waar je vandaan komt, Nederlander of niet we moeten hier samen achter staan. Alsjeblieft een beetje respect graag.
What an eloquent, yet difficult speech to make. Well done that man...The thoughts and prayers of the people of Northern Ireland are with you all. God bless you, now and in the days ahead. :-(
Well said, thank you mr. Timmermans
time after time when i see this i start crying . good speech
Frans Timmermans for the Dutch president:)
Minister president sure. President? Never
Don't forget about the animals that where in that plane as well :(
De dieren zijn ook mee terug genomen naar Nederland per vliegtuig dus gelukkig zijn ze die niet vergeten ik had niet verwacht dat ze dat zouden doen maar ze hebben het gedaan respect.
The speech of our Minister of Foreign Affairs shortcuts through the heart.
Bravo dutch Minister of foreign affairs! A grand speech in flawless in english!! Unique in the history of dutch ministers.
Chapeau.....
And the Oscar goes to....
Great speech, well said.
Ik ben trots op Frans Timmermans als min v Buitenlandse zaken. Zo jrachtig als deze speech is, zo krachtig zal er moeten worden opgetreden. De tijd van handelen is nu.
Proud to have a Foreign Minister like this man to represent our country
If only all the moralists here expressed as much sympathies for all the women and children killed by US drones, the world would surely be a better place.
I think we do..
Emmy Johnson: Yes, but his culture does not allow him to understand that we do. I used to believe in equality of all men concerning dignity. After having read from comments what brainwashing does to some of them, I do not anymore.
Paganel75 whose culture?
really? what has that to do with the speech by Timmermans? please keep your anti America comments in the appropriate places like rightwingnut sites and the likes. This is not about the USA therefor sympathies for all the woman and children killed by drones (US or otherwise) you will not find here for obvious reasons. Oh wait.... clearly not that obvious to you
What about the far greater number killed by Islamic terrorists and insurgents? Oh, that’s right, you don’t give a shit about those people. You don’t really care about any of the victims of war, but to make a political statement. Your cynicism nauseates me.
I feel a great amount of sorrow for ALL victims of war regardless of where they live.Arab, Jew, American, Russian, Ukrainian, African, etc.
Are we humans or beasts killing eachother.
Beasts kill each other for food, nothing else. Humans kill each other for so many other reasons, mostly being hate
Jilhoa1
Actually, animals also kill for many other reasons other than food, but that said, humans do have a lot many reasons to kill than beasts, and yes, hate is probably a reason to kill that only humans use.
bonsai67
Agree, more or less what I said.
If we have done one thing the last 10000 years, it's killing other things, too bad in modern times we continue this old habit. .
Rayz channel dear lord connect us together.
Seeing the images of dead passengers strapped to their seats, naked , or burned made me sick, sad, & angry, a type of anger I didn't feel before or since.
I started TWD when I played this speech here. The background music really fits with this speech.
