Many of them are on the SBC site itself. Here's one. This story mentions the 1996 resolution, but oddly enough there does not appear to be the actual text of that resolution anywhere. It is still characterized in the same terms in the bpnews.net story.

What you have shown me indicates nothing of the type of targeting you speak of. The SBC always passes resolutions at their annual convention which are simple restatements of biblical truth. They are issued simply to clarify the position that Southern Baptists take on a variety of issues. They do this constantly with respect to evangelism, social issues such as abortion and homosexuality, the Biblical model for the family and on and on. To say the gospel is to be taken to the Jews or any other group is not targeting that group but a simple statement which is an affirmation of what the Southern Baptists view as doctrinally correct.

I've been attending a Southern Baptist Church since March of 96 and I can't recall any push to target Jews. Different people groups are constantly being mentioned as not being reached with the gospel during missions week but this only takes the form of information and different groups are constantly highlighted. If the SBC is specifically targeting Jews I've missed it (and so have most other Southern Baptists).
