Does Israel have a written constitution in which free speech is protected? If so, how can (orally) insulting a public official be a criminal offense?

Israel has built a constitution in stages. But the laws do not protect political rights to the same extent as in America and the Israeli Left, which dominates the judiciary, has used its monopoly of control over the courts and the media to squash any non-Leftist alternatives to Israel's future. Here in America the Left lost its monopoly; in Israel that monopoly remains as complete as ever.
