Why Do Some Lebanese Discuss Gaza but Not South Lebanon?

Summary

In r/Lebanon, this discussion asks why some Lebanese speak about atrocities in Gaza but not violence affecting southern Lebanon. It examines claims that southerners are all Hezbollah supporters and compares those assumptions with views of Gazans, raising questions about empathy, stigma, and whose suffering receives attention.

Why do some Lebanese talk about Gaza but not south Lebanon?

I’ve met alot of Lebanese people who talk about the atrocities in Gaza but not the ones in south Lebanon, despite it being their own country

I have heard the very same people say that the reason why is because all southerners are hezeb supporters and brought it on themselves, so why should they care.

(That’s not the mindset that all of them share, so that’s why I’m asking why do some talk about Gaza and not talk about what’s going on in their own country)

Also, can’t you say the same argument and assume all Gazans are Hamas supporters, so thus there’s no need to talk about it?

Why do people generally speaking, not say that all Gazans are Hamas supporters, but alot of people say all southerners and Hezbos

Everyone has free will to do and believe whatever they want, I’m not judging anyone.

I’m just asking these questions as I’ve noticed this and found that it didn’t add up
