Ayman al Aloul, a journalist based in Gaza, dumped a bucket of sand, rocks, and shrapnel over his head to bring attention to the plight of Gaza — a challenge based directly on the Ice Bucket Challenge that’s still going viral.

Admitting that he didn’t have a way to freeze a bucket of water, Aloul drew inspiration from the destroyed buildings around him. “It came to my mind that it’s good idea to show the whole picture — how Gaza looks now, rubble, destruction, cement with sand, small rocks,” he said in a video slowly gaining internet traction according to NBC News.

Maybe they can find some unexploded ordinance to drop on each other’s heads.

Wonder why he doesn’t hire Hamas to fire rockets at his location to show empathy for the Israelis?

I remember during the Viet Nam era that Buddhist monks would burn themselves in protest. “Rubble Bucket” made me wonder if Imams would protest Israel by stoning themselves to death.

Gaza will become ALL rubble soon, if the IslamoNazis keep usig Gaza as a forward base to launch bombs at innocent Israelis in their schools, homes, offices, and pizza parlors (especially their pizza parlors, for goodness’ sakes!)

they’ve been just ASKING to be reduced to a nice big beautiful rubble pile. begging for it...

we could hold a raffle, just how many more bombs do the enemy murderers have to throw at Israel before Israel finally loses patience and destroys Gaza once and for all? (like any other country would).

we could hold a raffle... prize might be your pick of the rubble, or?
