Hello Knight_Hall,
You ask: Why and how Israel is considered Western and allied with the United States, and if this is due to U.S. arms sales to Israel and the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center by "al-Qaeda".
Israel is considered Western in character and is one of many countries allied with the U.S.
Some reasoning would be that Israel has an economic system typical of Western countries, and is a democracy. Therefore in this the U.S. security aid and the attack on the World Trade Center are not relevant.
One tends to wonder why someone has chosen to ask this type of question about Israel rather than about any other country / "Western" country.
Edit:
Does he for example, intend to also ask why the United Kingdom is considered Western and why it is allied with the United States, and if this is due to U.S. arms sales to the U.K. (https://www.statista.com/statistics/2485...y-country/) and the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center by "al-Qaeda"?
