He is also a Campus Editor at Large for the Huffington Post, where he has written on social justice issues, anti-Semitism, BDS and most recently, Jerry Seinfeld, to a national audience. An outspoken advocate at SDSU, Anthony is the public relations officer for Students Supporting Israel and writes pro-Israel articles against Divestment for his campus newspaper. He recently finished a summer fellowship with the Israel Project and is working to start a publication for self-identified progressive college students who want to write or report on Middle Eastern issues.
