NextImg:Tlaib slams ‘racist’ cartoon that shows her pager exploding

Palestinian-American member of US Congress Rashida Tlaib condemned a cartoon published in a conservative magazine that depicted her next to an exploding pager, implying an association with Hezbollah.

The cartoon, published Thursday in the National Review, referred to a wave of exploding communication devices this week in Lebanon.

The blasts that killed at least 37 people and wounded nearly 3,000 on Tuesday and Wednesday targeted pagers and walkie-talkies used by the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group, which blamed Israel for the attacks.

“Our community is already in so much pain right now,” Tlaib, a Democratic representative from the state of Michigan, wrote on X.

She added: “This racism will incite more hate + violence against our Arab & Muslim communities, and it makes everyone less safe. It’s disgraceful that the media continues to normalize this racism.”

In the cartoon, a woman identified as Rep. Tlaib is seen sitting at a desk next to an exploding electronic device while a speech bubble reads “Odd. My pager just exploded.”

Lebanese authorities also blamed Israel for the attack and have said the targeted devices were booby-trapped before they entered the country.

Israel has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility for the attacks.
