NEW YORK, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Hundreds of protesters, many from the group Jewish Voice for Peace, staged a sit-in on Monday outside New York's Statue of Liberty, calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. Others stood on the statue's pedestal, draping large banners over the side that read "Ceasefire Now!" The Jewish-led organization opposes the Israeli government's policies toward Palestinians as a form of apartheid. Vowing to crush Hamas in retaliation, Israel's military unleashed an unprecedented bombardment of Gaza followed by a ground offensive into the crowded coastal enclave. Both Israel and the Hamas militants who control Gaza have rebuffed calls for a ceasefire.

Rapinoe won the Women's World Cup twice, most recently in 2019. She continued to do so for the US national team, a symbol not appreciated by everyone in the country. But, despite all the success that went before, her World Cup dreams ended in a penalty shootout heartbreak. There was to be no perfect ending for Rapinoe as the US was dumped out of the 2023 Women's World Cup last-16. A smile of disbelief masked the pain as she trudged off the pitch, never to play in a World Cup again.

NEW YORK, Sept 16 (Reuters) - A giant refugee girl puppet, known as "Little Amal," walked around New York City's Times Square on Friday, raising awareness of the plight of displaced children seeking safety across borders. Amal represents a 10-year-old looking for her mother who set out in search of food and never returned, said Peter Avery, director of theater for the New York City Department of Education and producer of Little Amal Walks New York. Broadway performers and about 200 New York City students serenaded Amal to calm her in bustling Times Square. "Little Amal's message to the world is, 'Don't forget us,'" Avery said.
