Craig Sterling Thompson, a volunteer for the White House Peace Vigil, talks about the war in Palestine as well as how Germany has responded to the Holocaust with a visitor on Friday in Lafayette Square, Washington, D.C., in front of the White House. The White House Peace Vigil has remained in front of the White House since 1981, but had sections dismantled on Sunday because the Trump Administration deemed it a homeless encampment.
