Two gay Palestinian men with too many opinions and not enough patience for explaining ourselves. While our people endure genocide and struggle for liberation, we’re here to shed light on the everyday lives of queer Palestinians in the diaspora—our joys, contradictions, petty debates, and deep feelings. This isn’t a defense, it’s a conversation. Join Khalil and Ali as we navigate it all with humor, honesty, and absolutely no filter.

Nostalgia Is Just Queer Palestinian PTSD- Episode 10
Ali and Khalil, the queer Palestinian hosts of The Olive People, set out to discuss nostalgia—but quickly spiral into queer trauma, family dysfunction, and the chaos of growing up displaced. Through the lens of complex PTSD, they unpack everything from sippy cup discourse (are they cunty?) to Khalil's ongoing feud with his homophobic brother. Along the way, Ali nearly chokes on a dentist's crown, they compare Zionism to heteronormative siblings, and take down Love, Simon as peak white-gay fantasy. Also featuring car-crash confessions, Co-Star betrayals, and the bold question: can a Honda CR-V heal generational trauma? Dry humour meets existential dread in an episode that proves if you're nostalgic for your childhood, you probably peaked at 12.
