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 thats still going viral.
Admitting that he didnt have a way to freeze a bucket of water, Aloul drew inspiration from the destroyed buildings around him. It came to my mind that its 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. (As of now, the Rubble Bucket Challenge Facebook page has nearly 2200 likes and actually exists.)
While he specially prominent people in positions of power: If five famous people in the world like actors or presidents will do the challenge, that means I succeeded in sending the message about Gaza, Aloul said, before a friend doused him with rubble

Good point. I looked him up and this story (and variations on it) are the only thing that comes up. It's hard to imagine that a journalist would not have a by line on a story anywhere.
He forgot to hold a baby over his head as his jihadi friend poured the rubble over his head...errr baby human shield...
I would guess the guy is a journalist, like the man in the moon is a journalist.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
After all of these decades of rock throwing one would think they would have developed at least one baseball pitcher of major league caliber by now.
He might want to try the “Gaza flaming tire neck ring” challenge which is popular among the PLO and Hamas.
Now, every Dutch dairyman will want one these....Gotta have the biggest....
