This was because the Orcs were an invasion army bent on slaughtering everyone they found on Azeroth and sacrificing them to their new demonic patrons. Technically, putting them in a camp (not even as slaves, if you read the lore, it's that they were not monsters like the orcs were and would rather house and supervise them than slaughter them after they were defeated). Providing this housing for the orcs heavily stresses the remaining resources of the humans and massive raised taxes in Lordaeron and allied nations. So much so, that Gilneas flat out refused to pay taxes to show mercy to the alien invaders that slaughtered their people and worshiped demons.
There wasn't a betrayal, Silvermoon was sacked because no messenger was sent (a WC3 mission is centered around killing all their messengers so no one could help Silvermoon). Then later, after the sacking of Silvermoon, they turned to demons and fel-magic (the same influence that was responsible for the horde invasion the generation prior) and then they were wondering why they were discriminated against? Seriously? "Hey buddy, I know you couldn't save my city because we never got the call out, but we're in bed with the demons that were responsible for killing your parents, can we be friends?" /sarcasm
It was proven that the Sun Reavers were indeed harboring things against Jaina and the Kirin'tor. While Jaina's measures were extreme, they were justified in the end. Also, the Sun Reavers were already Horde sympathizers and they kind of bombed Theramore... Seriously, the two of the three important people in Dalaran experienced MAJOR losses from the slaughter at Theramore, and the Sun Reavers are side against them anyway AND still do things behind their back anyway!
As if the Horde has never done the same... smashing human seedlings and such among many other xenophobic quests. Regardless, it was surprise attack in retaliation for the stealing of the Bell, that is the nature of a surprise attack. This was a war after all, the fact that they even decided to take prisoners was merciful (and surprising considering everything that happened) after everything was found out and the Sun Reavers were indeed harboring things against Jaina and the Kirin'tor.
That was legit, even with Mal'ganis's meddling. Arthas was freeing his infected people from servitude to the Lich King and Mal'ganis. It was necessary, if unfortunate.
What? And why not? Specification required, I think. Also, war. Spies are commonplace in war, especially when they are your enemy and are influenced by demons.
After Onyxia was gone, the Cataclysm happened and that took attention and resources, obviously. Also, the people of Westfall didn't need protection, they needed a stable economy and homes to be built after the Cataclysm. Which is why Sentinel Hill was being fortified and expanded to accommodate them, only Vanessa turned the people against the guard instead by corrupting the people to rebel.
Yeah.
