The term shabbos goy refers to a non-Jew who performs duties that
Jewish law forbids a Jew from performing on the Sabbath; typically,
lighting a fire to warm a house.

Where I live there's no need for that. We have things called
thermostats. However, since turning lights off or on is forbidden on
the Sabbath, orthodox Jews sometimes hire a goy to come in and do
that.

I also learned very recently what the difference is between a regular
elevator and a Sabbath elevator. The latter stops at every floor so
there is no need to perform the forbidden work of pressing the
elevator button.


They don't seem to have any trouble pressing buttons on Saturday over
Gaza.
The guns and launchers don't launch themselves.



Neither does Hamas, so I guess they're jews too.
