The student block of the Palestinian communist party also mourned the passing of Castro, noting that “Cuba, Palestine, Latin America and the entire world have lost a great, inspirational, and revolutionary leader, who faced along with his other mates the world power of oppression, represented by the monstrous capitalism and imperialism and their followers in Cuba, registering a resonating victory against it, and freeing the Cuban people from being under American control and hegemony.”
