Even speaking as a Jew, I object to the banning of the Nazi flag, or banning holocaust denial, or banning ANY kind of speech. Does some speech offend me? Sure. Do I have some right to not be offended by anybody, which enables me to use government force to dictate what they can say, or what symbols they can use? NO!!
