That is a completely different example and a extreme oversimplification.
You are comparing a purge of 10 or so Blood Elves to the genocide of upwards of 90% of the Night Elven population.

The basic idea behind it is the same. Only the scales are different.
The funny thing is that the Horde is pulling a “Daelin did nothing wrong” with this. Allow me to elaborate.
Daelin lost a son to the orcs and saw them as genocidal warmongers, so he became a warmonger himself, going as far to resort to dishonorable means and contemplate genocide.
This Magister guy saw his friends die, and now he’s willing to harm innocent people just to get vengeance. Sounds familiar?

Lol. At what point does the scale outweigh the principle of the action?
You are comparing the destruction of a race to the banishment of a sub-group from a city which got bloody.
Are you serious? That is like me comparing some random warlock who you kill in some random quest who wants to end the world to the Lich King because they both “killed people”.
Get a grip of yourself.
To play devils advocate for a moment.
The thing with Daelin is that you can argue that time has only proved his point right as what he has said has come true.
You could’ve argued that with that Sunweaver but Jania has semi-gone back to her old ways and not hating the Horde and this instance even helping them
I think that is the difference between the two.

It’s not the same, Jaina didn’t wipe out the majority of an entire race. This is directly aknowledged in Elegy, Sylvanas wiped out the vast majority of the Night Elves on Azeroth as very few lived beyond Teldrassil. Jaina didn’t wipe out the majority of the Blood Elves (unfortunately).
You heard it here first folks. Imprisoning people suspected of treason and killing those who attack you is the same as commiting genocide against an entire race, targeting civilians exclusively, for the sole reason of causing survivors grief.
This is definetly the idea of a morally sound individual and not the ravings of a blood elf supremacist.

The funny thing is that Sylvanas fanboys ignore that Sylvanas’ logic was similar to Daelin.
Daelin: Wipe out the orcs before they wage war again.
Sylvanas: Wipe out the Alliance as they risk starting another war.

Remember, it is only a war crime if the Alliance does it.
That’s right!
Sylvanas fanboys: “Sylvanas is justified because Greymane tried to kill her.”
And yet they do not understand why Daelin wouldn’t drop his hatred, when Thrall, that “honorable” warchief, to get to freedom broke the Alliance Internment Act, razed an Alliance town, hijacked Alliance ships, and indirectly started a rebellion that distracted the Alliance from the Plague.

Did we even play the same scenario? That wasn’t just a mere arresting move. It was ethnic cleansing of all blood elves once the silver covenant was unleashed. Not even Kirin Tor guards, no, but the alliance loyalist sub group.
Please don’t. I beg you, brother.

Imprisoning people for being part of a treacherous faction is not ethnic cleansing.

Since when is imprisoning people considered to be an “ethnic cleansing”?
Also, the Sunreavers are not a nation, nor an ethnicity, they are just a political party, you can’t do an ethnic cleansing of a political party.
If it was a cleansing then no one would be left standing nor there wouldn’t be a recuse attempted made by Lor’themar. Sure, both sides had differences in the scenario, but it wasn’t some sort of ethnic cleansing. Nor does this even remotely compare to Teldrassil.

In his twisted logic, putting people in jail is just as bad as burning people alive.

Rommaths rescue group made sure to decline a worse outcome. I love him for this dearly.
We are all trapped on these forums, debating the Purge unto eternity. Someone help us! Save us!
