It’s good we are having this discussion. My point of view is that we are definitely witnessing an attempt at genocide in Palestine, the right wing of the Israeli government have some awful views, some of the language representing the worse of humanity. Jewishness should not be conflated with Israel or Zionism, I see that has been the case for some of the comments in this thread. Conflating the actions of a Zionist Israeli Government with Jewish people is actually considered antisemitism and is a very dangerous way of thinking, leading to Jewish people in the UK feeling unsafe. Support peace and march today, I have been many times and met some lovely people. It’s a long read, but if any of you are interested in how early Israeli settlers from Europe viewed Arab-Jews and the consequences do have a read. https://www.vox.com/world-politics/24122304/israel-hamas-war-gaza-palestine-arab-jews-mizrahi-solidarity -
Are they entering the test in 2026 and going to university in 2027? -
Hello everyone! My daughter is planning to apply to Cambridge for Mathematics for the 2026 entry, and as a parent, I want to make sure she has the best possible support during this process. We've been researching different resources and came across several tutoring services that offer help with personal statements, STEP preparation, and interview practice. For example, we found these websites: Company 1 Company 2 Company 2 Has anyone here (students or parents) had experience with tutors or mentors like these for Cambridge Maths applications? Did you find them genuinely helpful for STEP and interviews, or is self-preparation with past papers and school support sufficient? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences and whether this kind of investment is worthwhile! Many thanks in advance!
