PBS News Hour - World - More Israeli reservists are refusing military deployment to Gaza

A new poll finds that two-thirds of Israelis say the time has come to end the war in Gaza. It's the highest number since the beginning of the war nearly two years ago. That divide in Israeli society is reflected inside its military. Some reservists say the war must be fought and won, and others are refusing to serve. Nick Schifrin reports.

The Gist - Steven Pinker: “Common Knowledge Changes Everything”

Steven Pinker joins to discuss his new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life, exploring how shared awareness coordinates everything from markets to manners. He traces spirals of silence, costly signals, and why a single public moment can flip private hunches into history.

Also: the sentencing in the intended assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh — what the court record shows about Nicholas (Sophie) Roske’s change of mind, and why eight years can be both just and long.

And in the Spiel: the Supreme Court’s new term, and an un-panicked look at Trump’s shadow-docket “wins,” what the justices actually stayed, and why.

The president says we’re in armed conflict with drug cartels.

We talk to a Bush-era lawyer who says the powers of war are too extraordinary to use against crime.
