No, no it’s not. Mass imprisonment is mass imprisonment. Genocide is the systematic destruction and murder of a race.
gen·o·cide
/ˈjenəˌsīd/
noun
If anything their imprisonment was the exact opposite of genocide. They purposely let them live and did not exterminate the war criminals.
You can’t imprison an entire population and not have it be genocide. You incorrectly frame this as if I don’t understand the choice they’re faced with, it was a tough one, however, what they did was by definition genocide. These people were stranded in an alien world where they pissed off the denizens they had first contact with because they were manipulated by demons. The human response however, was not totally without moral hangup. Sorry that you take issue with this.

You’re merely rationalizing genocide. They’re bad, therefore their society deserves genocide meted upon them.
Again, already went over this several posts ago with more in depth analysis of the criteria of the concept.
Imprisoning people who invaded your world, slaughtered your people, and destroyed your kingdoms continues to not be genocide.
That’s like saying you can’t steal from a thief.
Oh, so we’re resorting to insults now? If you want to blame someone blame the High Elves and their practice of magic for making Azeroth gain the attention of the Burning Legion in the first place.
It actually amazes me people actually are upset over the mass imprisonments. Just pure bonkers.
Say you were an Orc, wouldn’t you be?
Say you were a Human in Azeroth, then what?
Are you joking with us?
You haven’t been reading.
Prisoners usually arent happy when they are imprisoned for crimes.
No, I’m fine thank you. You aren’t using any sense. Come back to me when you get some.
Thrall might have hated his life as a prison, but don’t you feel his Horde is better for it? He was taught how to read and write in the human language, how to fight. Do you think he would have preferred the alternative you seem to want to have had happen. For Blackmoore to just drown the baby orc in the river.
Thank you for proving my point.
You don’t say?!
So you agree the orcs were simply prisoners imprisoned for committing crimes and not the victims of a genocide?
Imprisoning the orcs was necessary. They were invaders, they’d killed countless people, razed the land. They could’ve all been executed outright, and that’s what we call genocide.
What wasn’t so necessary were the slave owners that forced the Orcs into gladiatorial combat for the amusement of humans. That part is where humans should be looked at critically.
For a Tauren you continue to show your own ignorance, you have two points on your head, unless you only have one horn. ![:wink:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=6" ":wink:")
