The author of that book, The Israeli Connection, said in a second book that many of his original statements were deliberately untrue. Even if he had credibility at one point, (and there's no indication that he did), he has since attested that the first book is not really to be believed.

That said, it is a book about the Mossad. I wouldn't expect it to be full of examples about how liberal Israel is. That said it does nothing to undercut the many real liberal policies and movements in Israel.

The OP has many great examples of actual progressive policies and actions taken by Israel. You haven't said anything here to remotely challenge any of those specific examples.
