Spraying instead of silence: Anti-Israel graffiti in Dresden!

There is a lot to report in Dresden today, not least about current events in the city. On July 8, 2025, a few critical incidents were reported that are once again raising eyebrows. In recent days, the police have discovered graffiti with anti-Israel content in the Großer Garten and Johannstadt. This unsightly graffiti was left between Friday and Sunday and is linked to the ongoing tensions in the Gaza conflict. According to Sächsische.de, the police will quickly advance the investigation in this case and are looking for witnesses who can provide information about the vandals.

Crime in focus

A look at the general development of crime in Germany shows that there are complex discussions about how safe our cities really are. According to the Police Crime Statistics (PKS) from the Federal Criminal Police Office, there was a slight decrease in the total number of registered crimes in 2024 - by 1.7 percent to around 5.84 million. One reason for this is the falling number of cannabis crimes, which can be attributed to partial legalization in April 2024. However, there are also negative developments: more and more crimes are affecting people's sense of security. Statista lists theft and fraud as the most common crimes, while crimes against life such as murder and manslaughter fortunately only make up a tiny fraction of the statistics - just 0.1 percent.

Interestingly, the statistics show an increase in non-German suspects to 41.8 percent in 2024. The clearance rate is around 58 percent, which has fallen slightly compared to the previous year. Despite all the concerns, Dresden remains a place full of life, even though the police and the city administration are working in close coordination to increase security and prevent crime.

Whatever the case, the people of Dresden should be vigilant and keep an eye on all information. It remains to be hoped that the lousy graffiti will be removed quickly and the beautiful city will soon be able to shine in its full glory again - without such acts of vandalism, which spread nothing but fear and displeasure.
