What I have been trying to get across to you is that this is one of those times where your need to handle things your way comes second to other peoples.
You aren't wrong to be worried - you have that right, and I'm sure there's plenty that would agree with you that is an appropriate response, and that being so means that you're a lovely man and a very special snowflake. You are dead wrong, offensively wrong, in your means of handling it.
"I don't have that bravo to do just that"
Then to use an American expression, fucking man up, son. You're not being asked to be cold to it. It is lovely that you are not, and the world is a better place for it. You're being asked not to judge in accusatory tone while everyone copes with getting first hand experience of an attempted genocide. If not being able to do that makes like slightly harder for you, that's called being a grown up.
