In April of 2024, Palestine Action posted an image of a crowbar to its Instagram account and stated “We are sharing educational-only materials on tactical skills like holding down occupations *inside* of university buildings” that included detailed instructions for its supporters on how to use a crowbar or prybar to break open a locked door to illegally enter a building, remove the lock cylinder, damage the door to make it difficult to reopen. <ref>https://nypost.com/2024/04/27/us-news/nyc-anti-israel-radicals-share-guide-for-taking-over-university-buildings/</ref>

While the post attempts to claim the “materials” are “educational-only” in order to avoid legal consequences, the fact that the “materials” (instructions and pictures) are clearly intended to be used for “occupations *inside* of university buildings” (which include as the suggestion to barricade the windows once inside) and further make it clear that the intent of these instructions is to to be used in the commission of the crimes of breaking and entering, trespassing, vandalism, and resisting arrest the post constitutes a textbook case of the crime of Abetting criminals. However, as of of May 3rd it is unknown whether or not any Police are investigating or planning to charge Palestine Action with any crimes such as the abetting crimes, aiding crimes, accomplice to commit crimes, or conspiracy to commit crimes.
