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.

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.

Ali's got the sniffles, Khalil's feeling cute, and together they spiral into one of the most raw, hilarious, and unhinged conversations yet. From Grindr hookups that should've stayed in the DMs to the politics of messy apartments, this episode asks: when does self-care stop being healing and start being harmful? The Olive People get real about honesty, resentment, rage, and inherited trauma — all while dragging tender queers, dodging people-pleasers, and casually fantasizing about brick-throwing revenge. It's chaotic, it's cathartic, it's kind of beautiful.
