Description

Today on The Gist, as rockets rain from Gaza, Israeli society is resigned to the fight. We speak with Israeli journalist Shlomi Eldar and former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren, who explain what makes the current military goal different from past conflicts. Plus, Maria Konnikova of The New Yorker explains how so-called bandwidth poverty strains our mental resources and makes decision-making harder. For the Spiel, parents are now getting arrested for letting their kids out.Get The Gist by email as soon as it’s available: slate.com/GistEmailSubscribe to the podcast in iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/slate…id873667927?mt=2Learn more about your ad choices.
