re: #527 Dark_Falcon

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.

The Sea Shepards may have a just cause in opposing whaling, but they’ve been near or on the wrong side of maritime law and conduct quite a few times, IIRC.
