Am I your Shabbos Goy?
-- Deputy Finance Minister Itzik Cohen
Cohen, a Haredi Deputy Minister from Shas, was upset that MK Moshe Gafni abstained from voting on one of the reservations against the minimarket law - specifically on the reservation that created an exception for the gas station uqick stop stores. Gafni, it seems, did not want to actively vote to allow that chilul shabbos so he abstained. Cohen, and others from Shas got upset that they had to vote on it to make sure it would pass while Gafni took the liberty of passing on it, making them the "shabbos goy" of UTJ
