I take issue with the implication here, not that someone has an emotional connection and wants to talk about it, but with the idea that the person being Jewish matters in any shape or way on their ability to judge the situation. I am certain the "as a Jewish person" is taken as a pro for their argument, rather than as a con, and as a sign that someone needs to be comforted and brought back to "reality" from their emotions driving their thoughts.
