🇮🇱 THE JUICE F✡R LAST 🕎
I'm a Christian dual-Lebanese citizen so I can answer.
Hezbollah is funded mostly by Iran. They also steal Lebanese public funds, extort businesses into paying taxes to them, traffic drugs/weapons/girls, and use front business and charitable organizations to launder money into their banks which operate separately from the Lebanese banking system.
The southern Lebanese are mostly Shiite and 80% of them are brainwashed into supporting Hezbollah. My cousin is married to a Shiite girl who despises Hezbollah, but she is a highly educated pediatrician at Johns Hopkins who did not grow up attending the Hezbollah-run schools.
Yes, they have their own schools which indoctrinate kids into adopting a Shiite-first identity. They also offer other public services like trash collection and utilities. They are a state within a state whose allegiance is only to the Iranian mullahs, and the Lebanese Shiites overwhelmingly support them. The problem is that their "subjects" are all Lebanese citizens too. Hezbollah is technically a Lebanese political party with its own private army. This allows them to greatly influence the Lebanese government (mostly through threats and bribes).
The other Lebanese sects have their own distinct communities and private schools but they don't teach their children extremist or sectarian views. There remains too much trauma and regret over the atrocities that occurred during the civil war. Thus, a Sunni Islamic school in England populated by inbred Pakistanis is far more likely to produce a Jihadist than one in Lebanon, and you'll never see a Lebanese Christian typing "DEUS VULT!!!" on X.
Even if the locals wanted to overthrow Hezbollah, its military is nearly on par with Lebanon's. Lebanon would win in a war, but at great cost. No Western government wants to give Lebanon advanced weaponry because 15% of the Lebanese army are Shiites who would certainly find ways to pass it on to Hezbollah. Any war against Hezbollah would see the Shiites defect or desert, and it would be house-to-house fighting with rockets and artillery flying everywhere for God knows how long.
Nothing like that is happening today in Lebanon. That ended after the Ottoman empire collapsed. Didn't happen soon enough to stop them from taking my great-grandfather's two sisters for who knows what nefarious purposes.
I can't speak definitely as to who oppresses Christians worse, but no group is our friend. Israelis are evil religious fanatics. The Iranian regime are evil religious fanatics. The Sunnis are fine right now but they are always one causus belli away from becoming insanely violent.
