Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.
Word for today: wisdom of repugnance
The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad

Just a heads up Netflix has a beautiful section of Palestinian films and is airing a documentary right now titled Born in Gaza that I can't recommend enough. I watched that today along with an excellent film called Salt of this Sea which is about a Brooklyn-born woman returning to her family's homeland in Jaffa, directed by Palestinian writer and filmmaker Annemarie Jacir. It feels important to not only keep the dreams, visions, and stories of Palestinians alive but to also amplify them, protect them, and envision with them.
