The Alliance did infact commit genocide against the Tauren, look up the Stonespire tribe and how the General behind it got promoted by Varian.

And of course, you're probably to try and justify the genocide of a blatant Native American analogue by white dwarves.

Now, try to send me proofs of "genocide". Only genocides since wc2 were commited by the horde in Southshore, Theramore and Teldrassil.

Taurajo had a significant civilian population. I wanted to ensure that they could escape the fighting, and many did, finding refuge in the north. There are some, even in Alliance High Command, who argued that I let an opportunity slip away. That I should've taken hostages. But I don't see the value in those sort of terror-tactics. Hear me out,: I want this war to end someday. It won't ever stop if we butcher or imprison civilians. I just pray that there are those on the other side who see things as I do. -General Hawthorne.

“They took down a military target. And their general refused to slaughter civilians. He could have given the order to massacre everyone. But he didn’t.” - Baine, Tides of war.

Even Baine, leader of Taurens, says there was no genocide.

While the horde gleefully terrorizes civilians in Ashenvale, Alliance are sent to kill their own people for daring to take a few spoils of war. The only general in this war that showed mercy is forever tagged a butcher, and had his body dragged through the dirt.

And, sweetie, dwarves wouldn't even be there, if the horde hadn't started a ruthless war against the night elves in their own lands:

cataclysm manual:

Under Garrosh's command, the Horde belligerence toward the Alliance is growing. Most recently the headstrong new warchief led his forces on a rampage through neighboring Ashenvale, claiming much of what was once night elf land. King Varian Wrynn has not backed down from Garrosh's aggression, nor has the rest of the Alliance. Offensives into the Southern Barrens have secured territory once belonging to the Horde for Varian and his allies, who are also working to retake portions of Ashenvale. With tensions rising, both factions are on the brink of all-out warfare.

World of Warcraft Chronicle (Vol 3):

After Thrall had departed, Garrosh turned his gaze northwest, to the lush forests of Ashenvale. It was a land of plenty, and it was well within the Horde’s reach. Most of the region belonged to the night elves, but that did not stop Garrosh from sending troops into the woodlands. He was not interested in asking the Alliance for resources or trading for them. Why would he do that, when he could simply take what he wanted by force?

The Horde’s new incursions into Ashenvale enraged the Alliance. Tensions between the factions flared, and open war seemed inevitable.

Following the events in Ashenvale, sporadic battles erupted between the Horde and the Alliance in other regions. With the factions spread thin, Deathwing unleashed the Old Gods’ minions on the world.

Wolfheart:

1)“A force you put together for just such an occasion,” Tyrande said with pride. Months prior to the Cataclysm, Shandris had proposed the prepared and prearranged force in view of elements of the Horde already battling with the night elves in Warsong Gulch. Six ships capable of carrying a full contingent of Sentinels, mounts, and supplies were put on constant call, with everything cycled on a monthly basis to keep all fresh and ready.

2) Ashenvale is ours . . . and the rest of Azeroth will follow. . . . There is nothing more mighty than the Horde . . . nothing that the Alliance can do to change what fate demands of this new world. . . . One had to be strong in the Azeroth that Deathwing had created. The Alliance had once been so, but it was of the past. The Horde was of the future. Garrosh was the future. He almost pitied the night elves and their ilk. They fought bravely but without a chance. They acted as if there were hope, when it was obvious there was not. Garrosh had used the very summit intended to bring his enemies together in order to catch them most off guard. The other factions of the Alliance had provided the night elf force with the handful of supporters that he had calculated. By the time Theramore and the others were able to send greater numbers, the Horde would have Ashenvale secured. Ashenvale is ours, the warchief repeated to himself, savoring that fact.

quests:

1)You're in Hellscream's army now, <name>, and in Hellscream's army we kick butt and take names. Gone are the days of our people starving in the streets of Orgrimmar as we sign treaties with elves. We take what we need now. Kalimdor belongs to the Horde! The Alliance attempts to stop our expansion every chance they get. Unsatisfied with owning most of the Eastern Kingdoms, those pig-lickers want it all! Overlord Krom'gar has called for more troops in Stonetalon. Get on the caravan west of here and go! - We're Here to Do One Thing, Maybe Two... (in Ashenvale, the horde killing night elves).

2)What alliance was doing in the barrens and Stonetalon Mountains: The purpose of this base was to establish a foothold in Stonetalon for Theramore and to open up a supply line to the night elves. The Horde, unfortunately, has given us one hell of a fight. Hellscream's armies are mighty and unrelenting. I haven't seen this type of ferocity from the Horde since the second war. - The Deep Reaches.

3)the horde tried to stop the alliance: The Alliance hopes to sever our ties with Stonetalon, but they forget that we tauren have hunted across these lands for generations. We know every hillside switchback and game trail from here to Thousand Needles. But for these paths to stay open, we must stop the humans from mapping them out. - Clear the High Road.
