OB/GYN-turned-Arab legislator MK Ahmed Tibi addressed the video from his "martyrs speech" insisting it was edited. "There's never been a lie like the lie called the Martyr's Speech."
During a ceremony held on the occasion of "Palestinian Martyrs Day” and sponsored by PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas in 2011, Tibi said, “In the history of the peoples and their battles, the Palestinian shahid (martyr) is the height of glory. There is no higher value than death for the sake of Allah. The martyr is the one who breaks through and with his blood draws the journey to freedom and liberation.”
The State Prosecutor rejected a criminal investigation against Tibi over the speech .
