Was there anything, amongst all the things you discovered, that stood out as being the most shocking?

Also, do you think that people have become complacent with regards to government spying, and merely see it as a "done thing" these days?

Very interesting, and scary! Thanks for answering!

I'll be sure to buy the move once it's released!

All the downvoting here is both stupid and pathetic. My question was downvoted from +5 to -1 AFTER it was answered.

What exactly is that supposed to achieve?!

Hi Norman.

First off many thanks for doing this. I've been a fan of your work for a few years now and, in fact, you inspired me to go down the academic route I did.

Now for the serious stuff: What is your opinion of the Palestinian solidarity movement as a whole, and the direction it's going in? I ask because I'm slightly troubled by some aspects of it, at least here in Europe (I'm in Ireland), where it seems to be turning into a self-perpetuating industry in its own right, regardless of the fate of the Palestinians. I suppose you could call it the "Palestine Industry".

For example, during Operation Protective Edge last summer, a relatively well-known Palestinian solidarity activist was promoting his own book, regarding Israel, on Twitter in between tweeting about the what was happening in Gaza at the time. That just did not and does not sit well with me.

P.S.: I met you in Dublin just over two years ago when you spoke in Trinity College. You referred to me as the "Susan Boyle" of the crowd in attendance. Always good to make an impression on people!

Edit: Grammar.

What do you think of Tony Blair's article over the weekend in which he says the blame for the current state of Iraq does not lie with the west?
