The article "Deception and Politics: From Washington to Tel Aviv" by Jeffrey St. Clair, published on CounterPunch, discusses the pervasive role of deception in contemporary politics, focusing on the United States and Israel. It examines how political leaders in both countries have historically used misinformation and strategic deceit to manipulate public opinion and justify controversial policies. The piece highlights specific instances where deception has been employed, such as the misleading narratives around military engagements, intelligence operations, and diplomatic relations. St. Clair critiques the normalization of these tactics, suggesting that they erode public trust and democracy.
