PEF President Wayne Spence issued the following statement on Oct. 9 concerning the Hamas attacks in Israel.
“PEF joins our parent union, AFT, in condemning the attacks by Hamas against innocent civilians in Israel. Israel is now justifiably defending itself. We grieve for all those who are suffering, including those in our union community who have friends, family and other ties to the region. Our hearts go out to all the families who have lost loved ones in these senseless acts of terrorism by Hamas.”
