Bear in mind that Ted Cruz’s father was a political prisoner in Cuba.
That might color his perspective.

Similar background to the Israeli representative:
"Edelstein, a former prisoner of Zion in the USSR, said he's "happy that in the end Israel has representation at this important event. As a former prisoner of conscience, I had the privilege of meeting Mandela as a minister in 1996, and we shared experiences from prison and the fight for our rights. This is a sort of closure for me.""

Was his father a commie terrorist too? I don’t think so. Mandela was not a political prisoner, IMO.
