Belzer threw up the salute during a TV festival in Monte Carlo yesterday ... but insisted the gesture was not delivered in a \"negative\" way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Belzer -- who described himself as a \"Jewish comedian\" -- said he was merely paying homage to the Charlie Chaplin movie \"The Great Dictator\" ... in which Charlie spoofed Hitler. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the Anti-Defamation League isn't laughing ... in fact, ADL Director Abe Foxman -- a Holocaust survivor -- tells us, \"Regardless of his explanation for his behavior, Richard Belzer&amp;#8217;s imitation of Hitler was still inappropriate and offensive.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foxman adds, \"It&amp;#8217;s not the least bit funny, but there&amp;#8217;s no law against it.&amp;#160; Someone who is Jewish should know better and not disregard Jewish pain and tragedy just for the sake of a joke.&amp;#8221;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
