Why is the distribution of holocaust denial leaflets tolerated?

On Grafton st today a small group of Muslim fundementalists were distributing leaflets. I don't care about that but one leaflet they were giving out was pure Holocaust denial and said that Hitler was opposed to the Jews because they had 'amassed wealth' from the German people. The leaflet used terms like 'alleged holcaust' and argued that the Jews used this idea to get reparations from Germany post war. Now I support the Palestinians, but if a group of nazis distributed a leaflet like this then indymedia would be full of 'no platform'etc. Why should racism be tolerated from any quarter?
