安大略省贝尔维尔的雅各之子犹太教堂成员呼吁联邦政府加大对社区安全项目的支持，此前几周，他们礼拜场所外发生了一起仇恨动机枪击案。
Members of the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville, Ont., are calling on the federal government to boost support for community safety programs, weeks after a hate-motivated shooting outside their place of worship.
周一，教堂副主席希马·维戈达表示，该事件让社区成员震惊不已。他在9月20日赎罪日当天袭击发生时正在现场。他在国会山举行的新闻发布会上说：“听到枪声，大喊让人们趴下，听到玻璃破碎和尖叫声，看着父母紧抱孩子……我无法开始向你们描述，我们作为加拿大的一个社区、作为一个国家，那天晚上差点失去了什么。”
On Monday, Shima Vigodda, vice-president of the synagogue who was there on Sept. 20 marking Yom Kippur when the attack took place, said the incident has left the community shaken. "Hearing the shots, yelling for people to get down, hearing the glass breaking and screams, watching parents hold their children ... I cannot begin to tell you what we as a community in Canada, as a country, very nearly lost that evening," he said during a news conference on Parliament Hill.
贝尔维尔警长后来证实，枪手携带多种武器、弹药和汽油，具备实施大规模伤亡事件的手段和动机，要不是被两名警察制止——其中一名当时正驻守在教堂外——后果不堪设想。
Belleville's police chief later confirmed that the gunman, who had multiple weapons, ammunition and gasoline on hand, had the means and the motivation to cause a mass-casualty event had he not been stopped by two police officers, one of whom had been stationed outside the synagogue.
贝尔维尔犹太教堂枪手具备实施“大规模伤亡”事件的手段：警长 “这不会阻止我们，”贝尔维尔犹太教堂主席在枪击事件后誓言 维戈达表示，在袭击发生前，他们认为破坏公物是教堂面临的主要威胁。
Belleville synagogue shooter had means to carry out 'mass casualty' event: police chief 'This is not going to stop us,' Belleville, Ont., synagogue president vows after shooting incident Vigodda said before the attack, they thought vandalism was the chief threat facing the synagogue.
他说：“如果你在9月19日、这一切发生前问我们认为安保需求是什么，我们会告诉你，我们的重点是更换破碎的窗户和安装防盗报警器。”他补充说，许多参加赎罪日礼拜的会众觉得，如果没有重大安全措施，他们不愿返回教堂，而这笔费用他们自己无力承担。
"If you had asked us what we thought our security needs were on Sept. 19, before this all unfolded, what we would have told you is that our priorities were replacing broken windows and installing burglar alarms." He added that many congregants who were present for the Yom Kippur service feel uncomfortable returning to the synagogue without significant safety measures in place, which he said they cannot afford on their own.
加拿大社区安全计划（CCSP）帮助面临仇恨动机事件风险的社区支付安全升级费用，提供最高500万加元的资金。但政府只承担70%的费用，申请资金的社区团体需自行承担剩余的30%。
The Canada Community Security Program (CCSP) helps communities at risk of hate-motivated incidents pay for security enhancements, with up to $5 million in funding. But the government only covers 70 per cent of the cost, leaving the community group applying for the funding responsible for the remaining 30 per cent.
“不幸的是，许多较小的社区无法获得这笔资金，”以色列及犹太事务中心（CIJA）首席执行官诺亚·沙克表示。
"Unfortunately that's not accessible to a lot of these smaller communities," said Noah Shack, CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA).
对于雅各之子犹太教堂来说尤其如此，该教堂希望投资安装防弹玻璃窗户、建造安全室，并配备安保人员，以帮助其成员重新感到安全。
That's especially true for the Sons of Jacob Synagogue, which is hoping to invest in bulletproof glass for its windows, the construction of a safe room, and security personnel to help its members feel safe again.
沙克表示，政府应考虑免除CCSP的30%自付要求，以防止未来发生袭击。贝尔维尔袭击是“警钟”沙克呼吁政府在保护的同时优先考虑预防，以支持加拿大犹太社区对抗“猖獗的极端主义、激进化和反犹主义”。“贝尔维尔应该成为最后的警钟，”他在周一上午的新闻发布会上说。这一增加资金的呼吁提出之际，距离联邦预算发布仅剩几天。
Shack said the government should consider waiving the 30 per cent requirement for the CCSP in an effort to prevent future attacks. Belleville attack a 'wake-up call' Shack is calling on the government to prioritize prevention along with protection to support Canada's Jewish community against "rampant extremism, radicalization and antisemitism." "Belleville should be the final wake-up call," he said at the news conference Monday morning.
“周四的联邦预算为政府提供了一个机会，可以在其新的国家战略基础上，投资于反激进化、情报和反恐领域，”沙克在新闻发布会上说。随后在接受CBC采访时，沙克承认政府已通过《打击仇恨法》等立法在打击反犹主义方面取得了进展，但表示还需要做更多的工作。
The call for increased funding comes just days before the federal budget. "Thursday's federal budget is an opportunity for the government to build on its new national strategy by investing in counter radicalization, intelligence and counterterrorism," Shack said at the news conference Speaking to CBC afterward, Shack acknowledged that the government has made progress on fighting antisemitism through legislation like the Combatting Hate Act, but said more needs to be done.
“威胁程度已经上升，应对这一威胁的政府资金方案也需要相应调整，”他解释道。
"The threat level has increased and the formula to address that threat in terms of funding from government needs to evolve as well," he explained.
