In this article, Russian cost as one of the most dissatisfied groups in Israel is studies. Therefore, rise of Yisrael Beiteinu lead by Avigdor Liberman is analyzed, followed by examining different aspects of Russian dissatisfaction. It should be said that Russians show high tendency toward Yisrael Beiteinu which is originally Russian. The above political party, similar to its leader, is a pioneer in making Arabs Others and unifying Us. It should be said that advocating such antagonism is like two-bladed sword; on one hand, it makes mobilization in short term while on the other hand and in long term, it has nothing but stereotype otherness inside Zionist society. This paper shows that the above-mentioned othering will be at its maximum level in developing situation before burst of war flames in order to gain support and make mobilization followed by its corresponding side-effects which is racial attacks against Israelis by Jewish Neo-Nazi groups.
