当一名枪手在赎罪日当天走向安大略省贝尔维尔雅各布之子犹太会馆外的一辆警车时，里面大约有二十多人在祈祷。
When a gunman approached a police cruiser outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville, Ontario, during Yom Kippur, approximately two dozen people were praying inside.
坐在外面的武装警员并不是加拿大每家犹太会馆都配备的常设安保系统的一部分。警方是在接到关于一辆可疑车辆的报告后才派遣他的。这个决定可能阻止了一场大屠杀。
The armed officer sitting outside was not part of a permanent security system available to every synagogue in Canada. Police had dispatched him after receiving a report about a suspicious vehicle. That decision may have prevented a massacre.
加拿大圣约会（B’nai Brith Canada）首席执行官西蒙·沃尔（Simon Wolle）对福克斯新闻数字频道（Fox News Digital）表示：“阻挡该犹太会馆所有会众被谋杀的唯一障碍，就是有一名武装警员在场。”
"The only thing that stood in the way of every congregant of that shul being murdered was the presence of an armed police officer," Simon Wolle, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada, told Fox News Digital.
随着高圣日临近，以色列医务人员培训美国犹太会馆如何应对袭击。警方表示，上周的枪击事件是一起针对犹太社区的有预谋、出于仇恨动机的袭击。据当局称，29岁的肖恩·沃德（Sean Ward）走向贝尔维尔警察局警员杰夫·史密斯（Jeff Smith），据称他大喊“你要为犹太人去死”，随后用猎枪向其开枪。
ISRAELI MEDICS TRAIN US SYNAGOGUES HOW TO RESPOND TO ATTACKS, AS HIGH HOLIDAYS APPROACH Police said last week's shooting was a deliberate, hate-motivated attack targeting the Jewish community. According to authorities, 29-year-old Sean Ward approached Belleville Police Constable Jeff Smith and allegedly shouted, "You are going to die for the Jews," before firing a shotgun at him.
史密斯在车内多次中弹。尽管受伤，他还是从警员车内出来并开枪还击。第二名警员在几分钟内赶到并加入对抗。沃德随后在医院死亡。
Smith was struck multiple times while still inside his vehicle. Despite his injuries, he emerged from the cruiser and returned fire. A second officer arrived within minutes and joined the confrontation. Ward later died at a hospital.
史密斯因头部和身体多处中枪以及严重的头部创伤，仍需住院治疗。贝尔维尔警察局长默里·罗德表示，史密斯需要接受多次手术，康复过程将“漫长而充满挑战”，但他“每天都在取得进步”。
Smith remains hospitalized after suffering multiple gunshot wounds to his head and body and serious head trauma. Belleville Police Chief Murray Rodd said Smith faces multiple surgeries and a "lengthy and challenging" recovery, but said the officer is "making progress every day."
史密斯的妻子阿什莉也公开谈到了丈夫的康复情况，她将这起枪击事件描述为“我们生命中最可怕、最黑暗的日子”：“我的话语还显得苍白无力，但我知道我必须说出来。在我亲爱的杰夫能够自己表达之前，我必须用我的声音为他发声。”
Smith’s wife, Ashley, has also spoken publicly about her husband’s recovery, describing the shooting as "the scariest and darkest day of our lives." "My words aren’t strong or steady yet, but I knew I needed to find them," she wrote. "I needed to use my voice for my dear Jeff, until he is able to use his."
这名男子被指控在纽约市的一座犹太教堂内扰乱宗教仪式（即破坏安息日仪式），随后被控犯有袭击罪和仇恨犯罪。阿什莉还直接向犹太社区表达了感谢，感谢那些支持她和她丈夫的人：“请相信，你们的爱、祈祷和支持已经传递到了我们这里。我们心怀感激。我们爱你们，也一直在为你们祈祷。”她表示，她的丈夫仍面临“漫长而艰难的康复之路”，但她补充说，杰夫身边有一群“充满爱意的人”在支持他。教堂内的信徒们并未受到身体伤害。
MAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULT, HATE CRIMES AFTER ALLEGEDLY DISRUPTING SHABBAT SERVICES AT NYC SYNAGOGUE Ashley Smith also addressed the Jewish community directly, thanking those who have supported her husband and their family. "Please know that your love, your prayers and your support have reached us," she wrote. "We are deeply grateful. We love you, we see you, we pray for you." She said her husband still faces "a very long, difficult road ahead," but added that he is surrounded by what she called "an army of love." The worshipers inside the synagogue were not physically injured.
调查人员后来透露，这名枪手具备贝尔维尔警察局长默里·罗德所称的“实施大规模杀伤以及破坏犹太教堂的能力、动机和手段”。警方还在嫌疑人的车辆内发现了易燃物质。
Investigators later disclosed that the gunman possessed what Belleville Police Chief Murray Rodd described as the "means, motive and mechanisms to cause a mass casualty and the destruction of the Jewish synagogue." Police also reported discovering combustible materials inside the suspect’s vehicle.
沃勒指出：“这名男子不仅具备实施暴力行为的动机和计划，还具备实施大规模屠杀的能力。”在他看来，这起袭击事件暴露了加拿大法律和安全体系的漏洞，使得犹太机构处于极度危险之中。
"This individual had the means, the intention, the deliberate plans and the capacity to conduct a murderous massacre," Wolle said. For Wolle, the attack exposed more than a violent act of antisemitism. It revealed a legal and security system that he believes leaves Canadian Jewish institutions dangerously vulnerable.
加拿大犹太人协会（B’nai Brith Canada）呼吁修改联邦和省级法律，允许犹太教堂、犹太学校等易受攻击的机构雇佣合格的武装安保人员。
B’nai Brith Canada is calling for changes to federal and provincial laws that would allow synagogues, Jewish schools and other vulnerable institutions to hire qualified armed security guards.
“目前没有任何法律允许犹太机构雇用可能确有必要的武装安保人员，”沃勒说。
"There is currently no legislation in place that allows for Jewish institutions to hire the kind of armed protection that may be necessary," Wolle said.
加拿大的枪支管理由联邦层面负责，而私人安保也受各省单独出台的规则监管。沃勒说，这些法律框架必须相互衔接，使面临可信威胁的机构能够合法雇用经过培训并持有执照的武装警卫。
Canada’s firearms regulations are controlled at the federal level, while private security is also governed through separate provincial rules. Wolle said those frameworks must be aligned so institutions confronting credible threats have a lawful way to employ trained, licensed armed guards.
佛罗里达州男子被控涉嫌策划针对某倡导组织犹太员工的大规模枪击案。目前，他说，犹太机构可以请求警察部门加强巡逻，但警方并不总能保证会派警员驻守在外。社区也可以尝试雇用付费执勤警员，但此类警员仍然十分有限。
FLORIDA MAN INDICTED FOR ALLEGEDLY PLOTTING MASS SHOOTING TARGETING JEWISH EMPLOYEES AT ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION At present, he said, Jewish institutions can ask police departments to increase patrols, although departments cannot always guarantee that an officer will be stationed outside. Communities can also try to hire paid-duty police officers, but availability remains limited.
“因此，目前犹太社区要保护自己，抵御全国各地接连发生、前所未有的暴力袭击，唯一的选择就是恳求当地警方在力所能及时派人前来，”沃勒说。“他们不会承诺在大多数情况下都会这么做。”这使得犹太社区不得不自费加固建筑、安装监控系统，并在有警员可用时雇用警员。
"So the only option right now for the Jewish community to protect itself from the unprecedented amount of violent attacks taking place all across this country is to plead with local police services to come by if they can," Wolle said. "They will not guarantee that they will do so in most circumstances." That leaves Jewish communities spending their own money to reinforce buildings, install surveillance systems and hire officers when available.
“目前，犹太社区主要是在用自己的钱修建围墙、架设更坚固的围栏、增加摄像头，然后还要花钱才能享有武装警员驻守的待遇，”沃勒说。“我们的生命在全国各地都受到威胁，而政府却没有采取必要措施，为我们提供所需的保护。”犹太会提出了两项要求：一是要求修改法律，允许易受攻击的犹太机构雇用具备资格的武装私人保安；二是要求政府出资加强这些场所的警力部署。
"Right now, the Jewish community is using its own money primarily to build walls, put up stronger fences, add cameras and then pay for the privilege of having an armed police officer," Wolle said. "Our lives are being threatened across the country, and the government hasn’t taken the steps to offer the necessary protection." B’nai Brith has made two requests. It wants laws amended to permit qualified armed private security at vulnerable Jewish institutions, and it wants the government to fund an increased police presence at those locations.
沃勒说，保护加拿大犹太人免受有针对性的暴力侵害，不应让受威胁者独自承担这一重担。
Wolle said the burden of protecting Jewish Canadians from targeted violence should not rest solely on the people being threatened.
“政府必须履行其最基本的义务和责任，即保护本国公民，”他说。
"The government needs to meet its most basic obligation and responsibility, which is to protect its citizens," he said.
这些数字鲜明地凸显了他所担忧的问题。加拿大统计局记录到，2025年发生了788起针对犹太人的、警方接报的仇恨犯罪，占当年所有已报告宗教动机仇恨犯罪的70%以上。
The numbers provide a stark context for his concerns. Statistics Canada recorded 788 police-reported hate crimes targeting Jewish people in 2025, representing more than 70% of all reported religiously motivated hate crimes that year.
沃勒说，加拿大犹太人约占全国人口的1%至2%，但却是宗教动机仇恨犯罪中受影响最严重的群体。贝奈布利特2026年度审计的初步数据显示，暴力反犹事件的数量已超过2025年全年记录总数的三倍。“加拿大全国正面临一场仇视犹太人的危机，”沃勒说。
Wolle said Jewish Canadians constitute approximately 1% to 2% of the country’s population, yet remain overwhelmingly affected by religiously motivated hate crimes. Preliminary data from B’nai Brith’s 2026 annual audit indicate that violent antisemitic incidents have already more than tripled compared with the total recorded throughout 2025. "There is a national crisis of Jew hatred in Canada," Wolle said.
贝奈布利特数月来一直警告，反犹暴力事件正在升级。沃勒说，在贝尔维尔袭击发生前，该组织已向各级政府提交建议和具体方案。
B’nai Brith has been warning for months that antisemitic violence is accelerating. Wolle said the organization submitted recommendations and concrete plans to different levels of government before the Belleville attack.
“我们一直要求各级政府采取多项措施，”他说，“我们向每个层级都提供了具体行动计划。”枪击事件进一步加剧了该组织的诉求，要求立法者将犹太机构的安全视为紧急事项，而不是又一个留待日后讨论的议题。
"We’ve been calling for many things from all levels of government," he said. "We provided concrete action plans to each." The shooting has intensified the organization’s demand that lawmakers treat the security of Jewish institutions as an emergency rather than another subject for future discussion.
“眼下最紧迫的是建立一种机制，为加拿大目前正遭袭击的犹太机构提供武装保护，”沃勒说。
"The most urgent thing that is needed is a mechanism for there to be armed protection of Jewish institutions that are under attack right now in Canada," Wolle said.
他强调，贝奈布利特并不主张在犹太会堂和学校内随意配置枪支。该组织的方案涉及由受过训练、经过审查且具备资质的安保人员，在界限明确的法律框架下执行任务。
He emphasized that B’nai Brith is not calling for firearms to be placed indiscriminately inside synagogues and schools. Its proposal concerns trained, vetted and qualified security professionals operating under a clearly defined legal framework.
“如果我们没有足够的武装警员，就需要修改立法框架，允许其他武装警卫保护犹太机构，”沃勒说。
"If we don’t have enough armed officers, then we need legislative frameworks changed to allow for alternative armed guards to protect Jewish institutions," Wolle said.
加拿大总理马克·卡尼谴责了贝尔维尔袭击，并呼吁任何掌握相关信息的人联系执法部门。加拿大反犹事件创纪录 引发对卡尼政府应对措施的批评卡尼表示：“在犹太历中最神圣的夜晚，贝勒维尔的雅各之子犹太会堂外发生了一起枪击事件。”“犹太人必须能够安全地做礼拜，过上自由、公开、骄傲的犹太生活。”
Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the Belleville attack and called on anyone with information to contact law enforcement. RECORD ANTISEMITIC INCIDENTS IN CANADA FUEL CRITICISM OF CARNEY GOVERNMENT RESPONSE "On the holiest night of the Jewish calendar, a shooting took place outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville," Carney said. "Jewish people must be able to worship safely. To live free, open, proud Jewish lives."
沃尔表示欢迎各方表达支持，并称加拿大犹太人现在需要他们的政府拿出实际行动，而不仅仅是发表声明。他补充说：“政府只给我们言语，却没有采取行动。”
Wolle welcomes expressions of support and said Canadian Jews now need their government to move beyond statements. "The government gives us words and no action," he added.
贝勒维尔的事件令人不安地展现了如果没有武装警员在场可能会发生的后果。当时，做礼拜的民众并不知道警方所说的那名受仇恨驱使的男子已经携带武器抵达现场，并具备造成大规模伤亡的能力。
Belleville offered a disturbing picture of what could have happened without an armed officer outside. The congregants did not know that a man police say was driven by hatred had allegedly arrived with weapons and the capacity to cause mass casualties.
正是由于接到了一起关于可疑车辆的举报，才有一名警员被派往现场驻守。沃尔强调，正是这名警员构成了枪手与里面祈祷人群之间的防线。
One report of a suspicious vehicle led to one officer being placed outside. That officer, Wolle stressed, became the barrier between the gunman and the people praying inside.
他说：“在经历这些令人揪心的事件之后，加拿大的犹太社群再也无法等待政府采取行动了。”
"In the wake of these harrowing events, Canada’s Jewish community cannot wait any longer for the government to act," he said.
雅各之子犹太会堂里的人幸存了下来。沃尔发出的警告是，下次当犹太机构成为袭击目标时，加拿大不能寄希望于运气、可疑车辆的举报或是恰好有一名警员在场。
The people inside the synagogue, Sons of Jacob, survived. Wolle’s warning is that Canada cannot depend on chance, a suspicious-vehicle report or the availability of a single officer the next time a Jewish institution is targeted.
他说：“这不仅仅是犹太社群的问题，这是一个加拿大全国的问题。”
"This is not a Jewish community problem," he said. "This is a Canadian problem."
