The comments that followed included the expected acknowledgements of her bravery and also . . . anti Al Gore feelings. The fact that Al Gore won a Nobel prize and Irena Sendler did not, inspired anti Gore hate-speech.

The people, who apparently sympathized with the Holocaust victims, used hate-speech to express their sentiments. It occurred to me that centuries of hate-speech is what ultimately led to the possibility of a Holocaust.

If I were Al Gore, I would consider making a movie about Irena which points out that she deserved Nobel recognition. The movie could point out hate-speech is also a form of pollution; cultural pollution. Perhaps Mr. Gore might associate himself with the creation of a little more intelligent discourse.
