Yet how many of us heard of him until now?
Only after the Great Horror from Gaza did the news stations suddenly take an interest in this intelligence expert — because prior to that deadly day, many were too busy calling Yossian a Stalinist, a fascist, and all sorts of other derogatory terms.
Now, he's garnered lots of interviews for his political wisdom and insight.
One of his most viral comments came as he explained to one interviewer why the Western communication style of America and Europe does not influence the average Middle Easterner and what needs to be done:
Do not get caught up in European delusions.
Do not to bring a culture of sushi to the middle of the Middle East – a culture that mops up hummus.
Israeli slang calls the way everyone in the Middle East eats hummus (by swiping their pita or bread through the mound of hummus on their plate or straight from the tub, rather than spreading it on the bread with a knife) l'nagev chummus — to "wipe" or "mop" up hummus.
Less quoted yet more telling is the sharp statement against Muslim terror Yossian made in the same interview, immediately following the hummus observation:
There is no need to bring a culture of ballet and jazz to a region that speaks in the name of God and burns babies.
Well-versed in the differences between Sunni and Shia Islam, he describes Muslim-Arab culture and Muslim-Iranian culture exactly as it is, plus how Iranians — contrary to all the talk of Muslim fraternity — consider themselves Arian (which they are, as descendants from Noach's son Yafet) while seeing their Shem-descended Arab co-religionists as the lower caste of the Muslim world.
That's why the Iranians manipulate davka the Muslim-Arabs (as opposed to fellow Muslim-Iranians) into carrying out terror attacks and suicide bombings — in Yossian's words, the Muslim-Arabs are "like a disposable cup" in the eyes of the Muslim-Iranians:
For an Iranian, an Arab is a disposable cup. If it gets dirty, he simply brings another...
Whoever knows their songs, their classics, and their music for the past 2000 years until this very day knows that an Arab is a second-class citizen — maybe even less.
If you understand any Hebrew, you can listen for yourself in this 35-second clip:

Do Arab Jihadists and suicide-terrorists know they are merely disposable puppets of the Iranian Jihadists?
I suppose this gives new insight into the term "too stupid to live" — literally.
Having said all that, Yossian isn't daas Torah and he admires the Soviet mentality and people like Ben-Gurion more than they deserve.
(Actually, I don't think Ben-Gurion deserves any admiration. He did a lot more harm than good for Am Yisrael. It's just that the winners — temporarily, in this case — write the history books, so a lot of modern Israeli history has been written or, at least, greatly influenced by the original secular anti-religious Communist Haganah officials who strong-armed control of the State at its inception.
But as has been pointed out several times, the only way to deal with Arabs is by strength and religion.
In light of this, Eliyahu Yossian recently explained the following:
I corresponded with a supporter of the Iranian regime — a religious guy — regarding politics and the existence of the State of Iisrael and so on.
I pointed out that the name Yerushalayim does not appear even once in the Koran, despite it appearing 669 times in the Tanach.
I added that "the Al-Aqsa mosque was built 1330 years ago, despite the Kotel being built 2979 years earlier. Or, in other words, I have a right to that land 1648 years more than you."
I added that "the city of Yerushalayim is the third holiest city for Sunni Muslims and the fourth holiest city for Shia Muslims — and you are Shia."
I further added "that Yerushalayim was the first direction of prayer, which you guys then changed after a while, despite how it was always ours for thousands of years and always will be."
I added that "according to the Koran — the primary source for you guys — this is the location of my essence, our promised Land." And I directed him to the source for this.
I further added that according to the Koran — and I directed him to the source — "we are considered [he pronounces it in the original Arabic, then translates into Hebrew] the Chosen Nation. The U.N. is irrelevant to either of us. If you are religious and you support your Koran, then what would you like to say?"
To which Yossian replied:
Nothing.
We are in the Middle East.
And in the Middle East, you speak theology — religion.
And nationhood.
In the Middle East, one needs to speak in a different language.
The U.N. is well and good. I'm not saying you need to trample over it.
But it's for Westerners.
Here, they speak in the Name of God, in the name of the Bible.
If you deal with Muslims anywhere, this is the only way to communicate with them.
You can even write down the above points, regarding the age of their mosque versus the age of the Kotel, or what he said about the importance of Yerushalayim in Judaism versus its lack of importance in Islam, and so on.
And did you know the Koran itself calls Am Yisrael "the chosen nation"?
I did not.
But this touches on Judaism's idea of Jew-hatred being a wake-up call from God for Jews to grow stronger in our religious ideals and to root those ideals in our hearts, allowing them to pour forth naturally.
