More like grand gestures are meaningless, but alas...

In any case, your argument finds itself in a precarious position. You're not trying to defend the attacts on whalers from a moral standpoint, and that's the fatal flaw.

You can't use the law to justify the SS attacks on whalers, and then turn around and ignore the law regarding said attacks. Either the law validates an action or it does not. If you take the approach that SOME laws validate the attacks, but the laws related to the attacks themselves are irrelevent, then you made the argument about perspective and not law whatsoever.

Meaning, from their view the Japanese are correct in engaging in whaling. Furthermore, from their view, the Japanese could possible be correct in destroying the SS.

And that view is no more or less correct than yours.
