Is America's support of Israel a practical example of Mearsheimer's "buck-passing" theory?

Question

Mearsheimer states*:

"A buck-passer attempts to get another state to bear the burden of deterring or possibly fighting an aggressor, while it remains on the sidelines."

and

"The buck-passer fully recognizes the need to prevent the aggressor from increasing its share of world power but look for some othe state that is threatened by the aggressor to perform that onerous task"

Although Israel is not engaging in combat with Iran, is this theory applicable to the situation?

Or is it not just a case of Israeli national interest, and the notion of survival, at play? and thus not relevant to US involvement (as the US is in Iraq and clearly involved in the regional power struggle)

What do you think?

5 The Chinese in Malaysia during WW 2 than asking for war reparations only for the Brits

6The Thais after WW 2 asking for six tons of rice for war reparations

Y'all want to talk about America and Americans O K it's a two way street

Answer 2

Partly true, I suppose, but it does not account for America's stance of defending Israel at any cost, even to the extent of refusing to condemn Israeli war crimes (which even Israeli human rights groups acknowledge).

I have no explanation at all for the US's bigoted policy in favour of Israel.

Answer 3

Then the buck passing theory could apply to someone who suggests that people not of states who wish oppose them as they reinforce patriarchy according to them dissolve all states.
