Palestinian American US lawmaker Rashida Tlaib condemns a racist cartoon published in the National Review that shows her with an exploding pager, referencing an attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon. Tlaib states that the racism incites hate and violence against Arab and Muslim communities. The cartoon has received criticism from various individuals and groups, including the Muslim American advocacy group Emgage Action and Democratic US House members. Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip has caused a humanitarian crisis and resulted in the deaths of over 40,000 Palestinians.
