A new message from American Al Qaeda spokesperson Adam Gadahn, who now goes by the name Azzam, was released this morning by As Sahab.

The video is titled "Let's continue our jihad and sacrifice".  The message is primarily focused on Palestine and the war in Gaza. 

In the message, Gadahn acknowledges his Jewish anscestry, saying "Your speaker has Jews in his ancestry, the last of whom was his grandfather. My grandfather was a Zionist, and a zealous supporter of the usurper entity, and a prominent member of a number of Zionist hate organizations." 

He points out that he is eligible for Israeli citizenship, but rejects it, saying "Isn’t it embarrassing and shameful enough for a person to carry the citizenship of Amerrica?"

Gadahn speaks Arabic in the 35 minute, 54 second video tape.
