Lebanese Australians believe they are being treated as second-class citizens, with entire families killed in Lebanon as debate in Australia focuses on Hezbollah flags and visas.
Relatives of Hassan Awada, a former Liberal deputy mayor in southern Sydney, were killed in Lebanon on Monday, with a family of nine - including babies and children - wiped out and others still missing.
Politicians had made members of the community feel like "second-class citizens", "sub-human" and "animals" as they focused their anger on a small number of people waving Hezbollah flags at a rally, he said.
