A country of homicidal psychopaths

Governments and their people rarely agree. Those that do agree are a vocal minority that's always amplified. While I don't believe Israel should exist, a county isn't it's government and its dominant group.

There are Israelis risking prison and possibly their lives trying to stop what their government is doing.

Government usually don't decide what tops the charts tho. That's sales numbers

Not directly, but they have an indirect effect. The more one aligns with the state, especially in a fascist state like Israel, the less likely they are to experience violence. The less trauma they have. The more access they have to good and stable jobs.

So oppositional groups tend to be more fragmented (so more subcultures) and have less money. So, no, not directly but there's definitely an indirect relationship.
