Nazi Salutes Jewish Deli Menu

The cartoons on the catering menu for Highland Park's Max's Deli are raising eyebrows, as intended. 0 By Jonah Meadows (Patch Staff) - Updated August 31, 2017 3:39 pm ET

HIGHLAND PARK, IL — A North Shore deli's catering menu for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur was adorned with caricatures of a Nazi and a Sasquatch in response to the hate and violence on display this month in Charlottesville, Virginia. The frowning, blond-haired, uniform-clad figure wears an "I'm with Alt-Right" T-shirt and a swastika armband and salutes Hitler beside a menu in the style of a Torah scroll with such High Holiday favorites as latkes, brisket, matzo balls and kishke.

"Have I taken this too far?" asked Greg Morelli, 49, owner of Max's Deli in Highland Park and the creator of the provocative menu artwork. "Maybe. Or maybe I haven't taken it far enough," he said in an online message accompanying the image, which aims to show that racism and anti-Semitism remain an active threat.

On the bottom of the menu there's another image of a cartoon figure, as a Sasquatch is portrayed wearing a shirt proclaiming "I'm with Alt-Left." By portraying the "alt-left" as a mythical cryptid, Morelli suggests that the perceived threat from anti-fascist activists is a fantasy. While both Nazis and Sasquatch are "man-made," one of them is harmless, he said.

"At least Sasquatch won't ship your entire family on a train to a so-called work camp while your neighbors look the other way. Or turn away the SS St. Louis," Morelli wrote, referring to the boat on which more than 900 Jewish refugees were blocked from entering the United States in 1939.

This guy may be the dumbest, booger-eating-moron ever!

"... the perceived threat from (so-called) anti-fascist activists is a fantasy?" Really? The so-called "anti-fa" really means anti-first-amendment. They're terrorists, plain and simple.

But the true idiocy of this a$$-hat comes across in the other statements... "Ship you family..." Who did that? Oh yes, FDR's administration. Whose administration turned the St. Louis away? FDR again.

But of course, both of those are President Trump's fault, at least according to this booger-eating-moron.

Thank you for your insight on something that is hard to understand for we Christians.

Funny, I’ve never thought of Jewish people as being particularly gullible or credulous, but this guy just accepts the whole narrative, hook, line and sinker.

What sort of Jewish name is Morelli, anyhow?

“What sort of Jewish name is Morelli, anyhow?”

It’s Italian, and (if one follows it down the chain) means either “Moorish” or “Yellow” depending on the path of origin.

Bit like “Smith” (and its equivalents — e.g., Schmidt) — which is, after, “Cohen” and its derivatives is the most common Jewish surname, just like for everyone.

In other words, who knows? Given that this guy is Reform, at most, I bet his mother is Jewish and father Catholic Italian, and both really atheists.
