Too far.
I think Israel is an undeniable liberal democracy, and is very modern. There is much to admire.
However, I do think that under times of duress, societies can ebb and flow temporarily into unfamiliar territory that strays them from their guiding principles. The US after 9/11 is a textbook example.
I have faith that Israel will right the ship. This just happens to be a time when those with the loudest voice aren't necessarily those that best represent the long term direction and character of the nation.
