SAN DIEGO — The Jewish Federation of San Diego County has updated its list of Jewish organizations and their leaders who have signed its statement condemning the anti-Israel resolution adopted by Local 1931 of the American Federation of Teachers, which represents faculty at the San Diego Community College District and the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District. The statement issued Sept. 17 by the Jewish Federation and other elements of the organized Jewish community may be read here. The AFT resolution that triggered the controversy may be read here.
When the Jewish Federation issued its initial news release concerning the controversy, some organizations were inadvertently left off the list of signers or came in afterwards.
