Freedom of speech doesn't give you the right to harass individuals (or to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre).
I know the distinction might be hard for you to grasp, but there's a world of difference between publishing a work denying the Holocaust and personally threatening a Jewish person. The former is protected, the latter is not.
