Well, for starters let's check our friend Wikipedia.
Mossad's former motto, be-tachbūlōt ta`aseh lekhā milchāmāh (Hebrew: בתחבולות תעשה לך מלחמה) is a quote from the Bible (Proverbs 24:6): "For by wise guidance you can wage your war" (NRSV). The motto was later changed to another Proverbs passage: be-'éyn tachbūlōt yippol `ām; ū-teshū`āh be-rov yō'éts (Hebrew: באין תחבולות יפול עם, ותשועה ברוב יועץ, Proverbs 11:14). This is translated by NRSV as: "Where there is no guidance, a nation falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety."
Hmm....
Does not seem to agree with your assertions....
'Checking Wikipedia' about anything which is at all controversial and involves 'the Jews' is an utter waste of time. JIDF had owned that bitch for a decade. Note how in the above it sheds zero light on the issue.
It scanning around a bit, I find this as part of a discussion of the topic. Would be interesting to see what real Hebrew speakers say about it.
According to modern Hebrew speakers, the way that the word "Takhbulot" is translated in the modern age is that of 'tricks, ruses, ploys (i.e. deception) different to that of the 'wise counsel' which is a translation from the King James bible, and different to the translation in the modern Hebrew.

(In the King James version, the Hebrew word Takhbulot is translated as “wise counsel”. In Modern Hebrew it means ruses, tricks, ploys – and that is the way it is understood by all Hebrew-speakers today.)"
I did also find an interesting presentation by one Gilad Atzmon. I've noticed when Jewish people choose to be honest it is as powerful as when they choose to be deceptive. People like this guy will be the saving grace of Jews everywhere. I just wish there were more like him who had the balls to call a spade a spade.
