Based on the solutions they pose in the book, the three will discuss their proposals, illustrated by film clips, documents, and readings. Solution 196–213: United States of Palestine-Israel (ed. Joshua Simon) is an anthology of texts proposing exceptional solutions for the region. With contributors based in Ramallah and Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Beirut and Jerusalem, New York and Bethlehem, Nazareth and Warsaw, the book offers plans and speculations to make life better, and proposes ways to do so. These proposals are articulated against an ongoing stagnation of the territorial proposals, which combine a deepening Israeli occupation with unilateral disengagement plans and declarations on “Two-State Solution.” With contributions by Tal Adler/Osama Zatar, Asma Agbarieh-Zahalka, Maayan Amir/Ruti Sela, Ariella Azoulay, Yael Bartana/Sebastian Cichocki, Raji Bathish, Itzhak Benyamini, Sari Hanafi, Sandi Hilal/Alessandro Petti/Eyal Weizman, Yazan Khalili, Ohad Meromi/Joshua Simon, Norma Musih, Ingo Niermann, and Noam Yuran. The Solution series is edited by Ingo Niermann.
