I love this, I will admit I am still doing research into queer Palestine, but here are some of the books I have been recommended to pick up so far!

Between Banat: Queer Arab Critique and Transnational Arab Archives

Mejdulene Bernard Shomali

Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique

Sa'ed Atshan

Decolonial Queering in Palestine

Walaa Alqaisiya

(Some of the links above are affiliate links, and I will be donating the profits of that)

As for other resources, there is Queering the Map, a project I have been a fan of for a while now.
