True + Cruel = truel, i.e. brutally honest.

Alternatively, "Tired of imitation gruel? Try Truel! Made with real gruel!"

Where is the truth in the cruel way one can slaughter others (murder, war, etc)?
I've seen lots of domestic violence cases where the abuser tells falsehoods without a grain of truth and because of it, beats [insert other abuse here] the victim, sometimes to the death. That is cruel. Where is the truth?

I think you would be more accurate to say "a lot of cruelty doesn't exist without truth of some kind" rather than a blanket statement because there are levels/shades of cruelty.
