So “ Rubio says US is Israel's puppet” is a lie?

Paraphrasing someone is not inherently lying.
However when you change someone's words to mean something they didn't say, like accusing someone of ant-Semitism for hating Jews, when their actual words were criticising Israel, that would be lying.
Or paraphrasing.

I said paraphrasing is not inherently lying. Weren't you watching?
Iranian govt were horrible people who persecuted their own people. But there are plenty of other similar countries.
Israel will volunteer to be "peacekeepers". They'll take over Iran. Then set up outposts, then establish apartheid, where muslims are kept controlled, all using the excuse of security. They'll continually deny they want to take ownership, they'll claim it's all a military operation for everyone's safety. Eventually they'll force most out then bomb the rest. The same will happen with Lebanon.
Meanwhile the USA will take all the oil.
They're all terrible, nobody is the good guy.

Thought so.
Many posters start a new thread with a title putting their own spin on a situation. You're being rather silly.
The important issue, discussed in several newspapers, is whether Trump was bounced into this war by Netanyahu.
One of the most interesting aspects of all this is the way Trump is hardly engaging with the war in public. It's like he's pretending it's no big deal. Even though it is dominating news coverage around the world. And the administration as a whole is refusing to give the usual regular updates on the war. At Trump's press conference yesterday, he spent more time talking about his curtains and the new ballroom.

He is reassuring the American public that they have enough weapons available.
But the actual words used tend to be altered slightly depending on the source:
Trump says U.S. 'not where we want to be' on highest end weapon stockpiles
Trump expresses concern over U.S. high-end weapon stockpiles, stating it's not where the country wants to be.
Could the US run low on weapons for its assault on Iran?
Analysts say the US could run low on vital interceptor missiles within weeks.
Or is it just a ploy, to pull back early, or to dissuade the Israelis to not expand the war, or to wrong foot the Iranians, or even the Chinese or Russians??

Nothing wrong with saying "US is Isreal's puppet." That is an opinion of the poster.

So Isreal told the US it was intending to strike and America had intelligence that it would be targeted in retaliation, so decided to strike first. Given that Iran has targeted anyone within reach, seems like the intel was correct.
It also gives a Lawful justification for war for America: Anticipatory self-defense against imminent threat.
