In Noam Chomsky's book "Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda," he critiques the double standards in defining terrorism. He points out that actions carried out by one group are often labeled as terrorism, while similar or worse actions performed by another group are overlooked or justified. This highlights the biased nature of media portrayal and public perception, which tends to favor one narrative over another based on the identity of the perpetrators. Chomsky emphasizes that this selective labeling reflects deeper issues in international relations and propaganda. The quote, "It's only terrorism if they do it to us," encapsulates the hypocrisy in how violence is perceived depending on the source. By showing awareness of this bias, Chomsky encourages readers to critically evaluate the information presented to them and recognize the underlying propaganda that influences societal views on terrorism and conflict.
