What double standards?

When someone uses a rifle to kill people who were on their way to the voting booth for independence and reattachment and in retaliation you bring in a tank, you're doing self-defense.
When someone throws a rock at you because they're being oppressed by you as you're occupying their land and you bring in a tank, you're doing terrorism.

Nothing wrong with this picture.
Other than the other side needs text also.

Goaded (by the US) ↔ Self-defense
Resistance (against oppression) ↔ (State) Terrorism
