What fellowship has light with darkness?
"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things." (Isa 45:7)
Light is meaningless without darkness. If you had no contrast then you'd have no way of knowing what it is.

The brightest light creates the darkest shadows.

That's why in most religions, there's a harmony and balance between light and dark. Judaism included, as Satan is no fallen angel, but a force part of and from God to test mankind. Satan as an external cause to sin merely a denial of responsibility for one's own darkness. The dark and light's power come from the same one.

So, it’s basically supply and demand ?

Are you undisturbed by all that you call evil, knowing that it is just God giving his people what they want ?

God sent people to this first death. I think this “life” can be compared to the Matrix in that movie. Our souls are in safe and we experience this world through our bodies. Nothing of this can destroy the soul, which is the important thing. In Biblical point of view body can be replaced, therefore we should not worry anything of this world.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matt. 10:28

He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they don't sow, they don't reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds! Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height? If then you aren't able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith? Don't seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious. For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Luke 12:22-31

This doesn’t mean it is ok to do evil things. It only means that it is not a problem, because it can’t destroy soul. This is just a short lesson that is not even meant to last forever, so we should not worry.
