The cartoon, published Thursday in the National Review, referred to a wave of exploding communication devices that were remotely detonated by Israel 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 that Lebanese authorities said were booby-trapped before they entered the country.
"Our community is already in so much pain right now," Rashida 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."
