8. Sure it can.

There aren't that many others.

Imagine a guy about to be lynched by 90 people, already surrounded, and the only reason he's not yet been lynched is because he has a nifty selective-fire weapon and decent body armor. Some of the lynchers have rocks and clubs and rope, others have handguns but aren't good shots, while others are just cheering on those actively lynching. The one person that isn't lynching him and helps him with some ammo from time to time (to universal opprobrium) is urging him to talk about the possibility of confessing because then at least there's the possibility that he'll just be whipped instead of hanged. "First put down your weapons, I'm sure everybody'll be reasonable."

Instead we have a call to make that one person into a "viable mediator" by saying the guy's guilty and really must confess. With the upside that if you think the guy's guilty, it's immoral for the one person to defend him and even mediate for very long before he also has to pick up a club.

Bad racial analogy?

Not given much of the media in the would-be lynch-states around Israel, and even in other countries farther away. Not given the attitude of those countries and the actions taken by those countries in the past. They still call for the rope. It's just those further out that ignore those calls even exist and assume that, unlike in the past, at odds with what's said, peace would break out if Israel would just let it.
