Adam Gadahn, who was raised in California, spent much of the 34-minute speech discussing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip late last year and calling on Palestinians to continue fighting.
"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 used to repeat to me what he claimed are the virtues of this entity and encourage me to visit ... where relatives of ours live," Gadahn said in fluent Arabic in the recording produced by al Qaeda's media arm and posted Saturday on an Islamic Web site.
Gadahn, also known as Azzam al-Amriki, was charged with treason in the U.S. in 2006 and has been wanted since 2004 by the FBI, which is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to his arrest or conviction.
Gadahn said his grandfather gave him Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's book "A Place Among The Nations," which discusses the Arab-Iraeli dispute.
"He puts forth his feeble arguments and unmasked lies to justify the Jews' rape of Muslim Palestine," Ghadan said of the book.
Gadahn who tore up his American passport in a video released last year, said he did not respond to his grandfather's call to take Israeli citizenship "despite my young age at the time and the fact that I was not yet a Muslim ..perhaps that this is from Allah's kindness to me and His taking care of me."
Gadahn, who has appeared in several previous videos, is the first American to be charged with treason in more than 50 years and could face the death penalty if convicted. He also was indicted on a charge of providing material support to terrorists.

- So if someone converts to Islam he is a wigga? I guess most American jews are "wiggas" too considering they do not have any Hebraic ancestry.

They have sold off the country to the highest bidder and they have placed it in the service of Israel. And they have the nerve to call this guy a traitor! Up is down! - Reply to this comment
- Looks like American Fascism to me. Because this guy converts and decides to Join a Muslim support group he is a traitor? Has he somehow damaged America with his views?

A "Muslim support group"? That's all al queda is? Then I guess the Nazis were just an "Aryan support group". - Reply to this comment

- You know what Adam Gadahn (and yes Adam, that is your name, not Azzam al-Amriki) reminds me of? A white guy who acts like a black guy. And just like that white guy is never going to be black, no matter how much he wishes, Adam, you are never going to be an Arab and you will never truly be accepted by your "brethren". You are just a tool to them, that is all.
