How many (non-Jewish) Canadians were admitted to Israel in the post war period?
It wasn't Adolf Hitler who said in 1912, "each country can absorb only a limited number of Jews [...] Germany already has too many Jews", it was Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann.
The first Prime Minister of Israel said in 1938,
in the wake of Kristallnacht, "if I knew that it was possible to save all the [Jewish] children of Germany by transporting them to England, and only half by transferring them to the Land of Israel, I would choose the latter".
For Zionists, the interests of Jews was, and still is, secondary to the ideology of Zionism.

My point is that holocaust denial often goes hand in hand with racist theory and practise, including the incitement of violence against non-Aryans. On some level it IS bizarre that questioning the holocaust is a crime, but considering the typical motives behind which that denial is espoused, I do understand why that law still exists.

Then you believe in the same version of 'free speech' as Adolf Hitler. Free speech only for what you deem personally acceptable.

as an aside...I love the irony that Hitler's actions were a large part of the reason why Israel was created. He'd have been so pissed

You only find it ironic because, like most people, you have a superficial grasp of history.
The Nazis in fact worked closely with Zionists, even traveling with Zionists to Palestine and agreeing with Zionists on Palestine as a home for Jews.
Zionism was the only political movement allowed in Nazi Germany other than Nazism, and Zionists were even allowed to fly their own flag (what would become the Israeli flag) in Nazi Germany.
Zionist terrorists in Palestine, such as the Stern Gang, in which Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir was a commander, openly supported and allied themselves with the Third Reich during World War II.
Etc etc etc.
