Forget the Ice Bucket Challenge, it’s a different kinda bucket challenge that’s sweeping the “sandy” Middle East this week!

Using #RubbleBucketChallenge to raise awareness on social media, campaigners have swapped ice-and-water-filled containers for sand and rocks.

The trend appears to have been started by Jordanian comedian Mohammed Darwaza last Friday, reports The Independent.

This challenge is closer to home for Palestinian superstar Mohammad Assaf than others, who’s joined the trend in support of his hometown Gaza, that’s been under attack by Israel for two months now.

Assaf knows exactly how his people are feeling; he went through the same exact suffering in 2008 and 2012. But unlike his fellow challengers, the star said that he’s not nominating anyone to take on the Rubble Bucket Challenge after him! According to Laha Magazine, Mohammad said, “I do not challenge anyone to do the challenge after me, I only challenge myself and call on Arabs to support the people of Gaza in any means possible.” — Albawaba

Think that they could mention that Hamas has randomly been launching rockets which sparked action by Israel to stop those random rocket launches?

Oh, right, they're Jews, no need to mention the facts.

I prefer he enter the “heat seeking missile
up your butt” challenge

Pshaw, that's mere sand. He should try it with bigger rocks.
