Because it's like me getting personally offended when people call the United States out for it's illegal surveillance programs. I'm not offended, because I didn't have anything to do with it. As a citizen, all I can do is vote in every election and raise awareness.

Presumably, you didn't rape anybody, and you probably don't have any major political/government connections that would allow you to make things better in your country. You are just a bystander in a place that has some significant problems. So am I, but that doesn't mean I get personally offended when people talk about it.
