Unfortunately, Max Brenner is no ordinary chocolate bar.
Max Brenner - and its owner company, the Strauss group - openly and 'proudly' support and fund the Israeli military, particularly two brigades - the Golani Brigade and Givati Brigade.
This very same military, the Israeli 'Defence' Force, consistently commits reprehensible war crimes and violates international humanitarian law in order to maintain Israel's occupation of Pales...tine and sustain its apartheid regime and organised ethnic cleansing campaign against Palestinians.
This event joins the growing Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement - the global campaign to pressure Israel to comply with international law.
This protest aims to raise public awareness of Max Brenner's complicit role in Israel's continued violations of Palestinian human rights and to get the BDS ball rolling.
We must challenge Israel's impunity and together say a loud and resounding NO to the normalisation of Israeli apartheid across the globe.
Israeli politician Ehud Barak himself acknowledged the growing impact of the BDS movement. He said: "It will start coming at us like a glacier, from all corners."
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions - peaceful and effective resistance.

Re: Protesting Max Brenner's support for the Israeli military
What tha?
You let the cat out of the bag by inviting political and religious hate groups via your social network, then back peddle when the cat scratches back. Shame!
"Racist, bigoted and discriminatory comments will not be tolerated."
You post and/or support youtube vids calling customers or passersby, "zionists" or "palestinean blood drinkers".
.... Then try and claim the free speech and open heart card. Weak!
Let me guess, the so-called innocent protesters arrested by the police for assault at the last melee have had their day in court?
Here's hoping that Parramatta Council and Police see your peaceful protest for what it is again... and again.... and again.
Get the heat off our street!
