Geographically yes. They are in the western hemisphere. Lets be obtuse and refuse to accept that Europe or Israel have anything to do with being called "western civilization" because they are in the eastern hemisphere. This is so that we can frame the conversation to being about exploitation and our desire to reduce it. Letting fascists control conversation about east vs west just feeds into fascist clash of civilizations tropes.
