Can someone show me on a map where "the west" starts?

A western colony primarily made of western settlers and completely aligned with imperial core countries is western.

It's a political term rather than geographic. Same reason why Australia isn't part of the Global South despite being in the south, because it's controlled by colonizers.

Is it Israel that is completely aligned with these "core" countries because I see them as a terrorist state and I sit firmly in the west.

The most significant western governments still finance Israel's existence, that doesn't mean every single western person or even country gets along with Israel
