Lets not go back more than 200 years back. lets talk about recent events. No need to talk about how shia were attacked even before safavids and fatimids (during the time of umayads and abbasids).
There is a difference between suicide attack against civilians, restaurants, mosques, markets or during a war against an enemy soldiers who is militarily stronger (equipment, support etc).
Yes, the history is witness of killing of shia lebanese of syian shia.
Some think the Nusayri were descendents from the Nazerini in Syria Roman historian Pliny mentioned in
History 5:23. The ‘Alawites are composed of a number of tribes, some of which were native to northwest Syria; other tribes emigrated from Iraq in the 12th century. In 1516, the Ottoman Emperor Selim I "The Grim" killed over 9,400 mainly ‘Alawite Shi’ites with the blessing of the Sunni religious leaders. He settled many Turks in the ‘Alawite homelands of northeast Syria, but over time, many of them joined the ‘Alawites also.

At last you don't know me personally and whether I'm a Ismaili, sufi or alevi or no muslim is personal and not even relevant.
I do care about shia arabs who we had and have ties with. I even care about non-shia arabs like people of Oman. In Iran they don't kill you because of being sunni. If you do suicide bombing like jundullah (al-rigi) that's another story.
Hanbalism from the beginning had the weakness of resorting to violence, also towards other sunnis.
Led by the Hanbalite scholar
Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali al-Barbahari, the school often formed mobs of followers in 10th-century Baghdad who would engage in violence against fellow Sunnis suspected of committing sins and all
Shi'ites. During al-Barbahari's leadership of the school in Baghdad, shops were looted, female entertainers were attacked in the streets,popular grievances among the lower classes were agitated as a source of mobilization, and public chaos in general ensued.Their efforts would be their own undoing in 935, when a series of
home invasions and
mob violence on the part of al-Barbahari's followers in addition to perceived deviant views let to the Caliph
Ar-Radi publicly condemning the school in its entirety and ending its official patronage by state religious bodies.
Historically, the school's legitimacy was not always accepted. Muslim exegete
Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari, founder of the now extinct
Jariri school of law, was noted for ignoring the Hanbali school entirely when weighing the views of jurists; this was due to his view that the founder, Ibn Hanbal, was merely a scholar of prophetic tradition and was not a jurist at all.The Hanbalites, led by al-Barbahari, reacted by
stoning Tabari's home several times, inciting riots so violent that Abbasid authorities had to subdue them by force.
