Besides that, the Lightbound are not the same as the Lightforged and the Lightforged are not led by a Naaru anymore. Or did you forget Illidan killing her? And it is not even about mistrust, they are just bored without killing anything. Shadow's Rising made it apparent that they just want to wage war, no matter what the consequences or the reasons.
That they did not actively kill the Covenant members does not excuse them smuggling a WMD to Garrosh.
While yes, we can say that Jaina went radical with racial profiling, we also have to see that she really had no choice. Aethas Sunreaver betrayed the Council, because he figured that they were less dangerous then Garrosh. His mistake. Jaina had no way of knowing who of the Sunreavers was guilty and who wasn't, so she wanted to arrest them to find out, them then attacking and trying to kill her resulted in more death then necessary. Jaina has always given the Horde the benefit of the doubt, she even sacrificed her father for them, and that led to her city being destroyed and her friends murdered. It is hard to blame her for overreacting at that point.
Aethas had the knowledge to stop this, but he did not act on it. Instead he had the nerve to be confrontational with Jaina when she came to arrest him. Most of the death of that day is because of him choosing Garrosh over the Violet Council. Once he did that, he left Jaina with very little choice. She could accept that there might be dozens of traitors among the Sunreavers that were happy to help Garrosh destroy more cities or she could arrest them to find out the truth. A massacre was never her intention, but the Sunreavers that attacked her after all the betrayal she faced so recently signed their own death warrant.
Uhm no, it wasn't. It was a High Elven City to begin with, then those invited Humans to study magic and later the Blood Elves joined as well. Or why do you think Kael'thas studied together with Jaina there? The city was very much neutral until that day and it became neutral again in Legion. You can go check, the old version is still floating over Northrend, neutral.
Jaina was only part of the leading Violet Council, as was Aethas Sunreaver, but her decisions during the Purge were later accepted by the remaining councilors. And her actions did not directly benefit the Alliance, only indirectly. Her goal was to prevent a dangerous insane orc to get his hands on a very dangerous object, which was completely understandable considering what he did with the last weapon he got. Keeping the Bell from Garrosh was preotecting the world, if you don't see that, then only because you are biased.
What happened to the Sunreavers wasn't right, no. But the fault for it lies with Aethas just as much as it lies with Vereesa. When he decided that his allegiance to Garrosh was more important then his allegiance to Dalaran, he forced Jaina's and Vereesa hand. Had he gone to the Council and told them what happened, they would have helped him and none of the Purge had been necessary.
Ugh, stop pretending like the Mag'har are some innocent flowers. They enslaved the Draenei, murdered them and the Draenei still safed them when the Legion came. X'era mindcontrolled Yrel and the other Lightbound, they do not have free will. Hate X'era who is the one behind this, the Draenei are as much victims as the Mag'har.
It is a pretty obvious reversal of what happened in the orginal timeline, where the Orcs nearly murdered all Draenei because of the interference of the Legion. Just that this time it is a Light entity doing it.
