"Misinformation kills".
Even though information is more accessible today than at any other time in our history, there is a lack of motivation to learn – especially among college students and young adults. Enemies of America, Israel, and of peace have poured millions of dollars into PR campaigns to spread inaccurate information and foster hatred here in the United States. It is imperative that this misinformation is countered with truth for future generations to understand the genuine partners of peace.

Fuel For Truth was born in the days following September 11, 2001 by a group of young, secular Jewish men under the age of 30. The founders of Fuel For Truth were not political activists or trust fund babies, but some of NYC's top club promoters, up-and-coming business executives, and rising stars within the entertainment industry. They saw the connection between the mass murders of September 11th and the repeated terror attacks on Israel: The same money and lies were behind both.
The founders believe that every individual has the power to change the world. Therefore, to combat this threat to Americans and the Jewish people, they passionately dedicated all their considerable skills, financial resources, and time to promoting the truth about Israel and her war on radical Islamic terror and dispelling the dangerous lies fueling the terrorist culture of hatred.
