I can see how even positive comments made about the Poles (or any group of people) can expose them to an increased risk of attacks.

Say something negative about any group of people, they could be attacked by people who share that negative image of them.

Say something positive about any group of people, they could be attacked by people jealous/angry/who feel slighted at being described as being not as good/hardworking/etc as them.

I'm not saying I agree with it, or that the BBC is responsible for it, but I can see how it could be possible.
