Rachel Corrie, martyred by Caterpillar
Steve Irwin, martyred by Sting Ray

Both Steve and Rachel posthumously have boats named after them, these boats are crewed exclusively by douchebags.

We’re through the looking glass here people.

True but the comparison only goes so far. The Sea Shepherds, despite the asshole things they often do, have a just cause in opposing Antarctic whaling. They also do not engage in or support violence. By contrast. the IHH (the organization behind the Gaza Flotilla) is an Islamist organization that supports the use of murderous tactics against Israel and whose members just ambushed Israelis sent to search their ship.
