John,

Days after the Israeli military killed Lebanese civilians, including a
nine-year-old girl, in a timed attack using explosive devices planted in
pagers, a political cartoonist with the National Review decided to portray
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American member of Congress, as a
member of Hezbollah.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Abraham Aiyash: Shame on the @detroitnews for allowing this
racist, xenophobic vile cartoon on their platform. Pay attention to who
condemns this. And then recognize the different standards Arab and Muslim
politicians are held by.

This is clear anti-Arab bigotry, racism, and Islamophobia — full stop.

As Rashida’s fellow Squad member and Justice Democrats incumbent AOC said,
“The way Islamophobia and anti-Arab hatred is so deeply normalized and
accepted in our politics is horrifying. It rarely receives the equal
condemnation it deserves. It is inexcusable and a massive double standard.
This is disgusting. And so is the silence around it. We see it.”

This is just the latest in a series of ugly personal attacks against
Rashida since last October when she was one of the first members of
Congress to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages
on both sides. And as Rashida pointed out, this normalized racism within
American media only incites more hate and violence against a community
that is already in so much pain.

rights for all. Add your name right now to say you stand with Rashida →

While this shameful and disgusting racism against Arab and Muslim
Americans isn’t new, we must call it out at every turn and ensure Rashida
knows we have her back.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
