No. It won't be seen like Lebanon. Social media has ensured that, despite their best attempts to stop the flow of information out of Gaza the world has seen that Israel is no different to Hamas. It's a US backed terrorist state with zero regard for innocent lives.
What has changed also is the antisemitism card has gone. Where once the likes of Nage Waza and the rest of the defenders of genocide could cry antisemitic everytime the world pointed out their disgust and revulsion at Israeli atrocities and that they were a bunch of terrorist, genocide supporting nutjobs this is no longer the case. Revulsion and disgust at Israel and its supporters is justified, demonstrable and a perfectly normal reaction to their disgusting atrocities.
And then there's the small matter of ICJ and their genocide legacy.
So no. Despite your sick attempt to minimize this, this is nothing like Lebanon. People don't look back at Lebanon and think of children getting murdered. Civilians being starved to death. Executed as they scramble for food. Aid workers being murdered. Health workers lured to their death and executed. And so on.

You could be right but so far social media has made no difference to US support for Israel, or Israel's actions, they don't care what anyone thinks because they know they dont have to, Gaza is still ruined, social media has had no effect what so ever, it didnt in Syria or the Yemen either
The war will end and people will move on, they always have, the US will support Israel no matter what it does as it always has
As long as the US supports Israel and the rest of the world leaders (leaders not citizens mind you) don't care, which they dont then there is no downside to this for Israel
Oh and don't think this is me saying this is ok, it isn't Israel has massively over reacted and what is happening is basically genocide, but the part of me that has watched this for 60 years tells me this wont make any difference to anything, nothing will change except that Gaza will have been destroyed, 30 or 40 thousand Gazans will have died
