Which came first the tunnels or the buildings?

Well, you interpret it one way and I interpret it another. The reality is both our interpretations are true because both sides have had their bloody history and both are culpable.

As I said, the buildings of course. The whole purpose of the tunnels under the buildings is to use civilian places as human shields. The tunnels would have been discovered during the construction process otherwise.
To try to claim that the tunnels were there first is ludicrous and just denial of Hamas using human shields.

NO. There is no alternate way to interpret these slogans and chants.
NO. They both are not true. There is only one meaning for them.
They are not peaceful. They are not simply 'pro palestine'.
"From the River to the Sea .... '
'Long Live Intifada ...'
'Allah Akbar ....'
From the River to the Sea - the chant used to call for the destruction of Israel and the death of the Jews.
Long live intifada - the chant used to recall the violence when thousands of people were murdered in the name of destruction of Israel and death of the Jews.
Allah Akbar - the chant used by muslim terrorists around the world when they slaughter innocent people.

I think many in the world refuse (by choice or by bias or by emotional trauma) to see the truth of what is really going on not only between these two factions, but with all the other political players which are involved in different ways. What does Israel want?

Israel wants the right to existance, the right to live,
What hams wants? they want want the entire terrorist groups in the middle east to wag an endless jihad against Israel to erased them from the face of the world and history, plus punishing US for helping Israel.
And you can take that to the bank.

The purpose of the tunnels have always been for militant command centres
it just looks like Hamas' desperation led them to taking hostages this time
and they are trying to negotiate through Qatar,
but Israel wants total destruction and genocide.
Those are the facts.

Yes, there are two ways of interpretation and if you could learn the bloody history of both peoples you will be able to see both sides and why the Palestinian people chant to never surrender to the oppression of Israel.

You are making excuses for the terrorist attack upon innocent people .... the torture, the burning to death, the rapes, the slaughter. Calling it 'desperation' like Hamas actually has a cause for their demonic behavior.
and they are trying to negotiate through Qatar,
And Israel rejected the demands of Hamas saying that they weren't being serious. Obviously Hamas has a laundry list of demands that are unreasonable.
but Israel wants total destruction and genocide.
If Israel wanted that .. it would have been done by now. They have the firepower to kill every living thing in Gaza, and yet only a few thousand (supposedly) have died. And they died because of HAMAS.
Those are the facts.
Nope.

I'm not talking about the damn Palestinians. I'm talking about the PROTESTORS. I have said it time and time again ... THE PROTESTORS. They were chanting the death of Israel chants. This is not 'peaceful protest' and being 'pro Palestinian'. It's ANTI ISREAL which is very different.
There are NOT two ways to interpret this. The words mean what they mean.

Nope.
Even if Hamas did all you say, do you approve of Israeli blowing right through civilians (mostly children), hospitals, and anywhere instead of instituting tunnel warfare to actually get at Hamas?
Hamas' list of demands is exactly what was in the agreements Israel agreed to but did not honor in the past.

“it just looks like Hamas' desperation led them to taking hostages this time”
You are indeed a terrorist supporter.
“A Hamas “abduction manual” with detailed instructions on how to take civilians hostage, bind them by their wrists and ankles, collect their identification papers and “kill the problematic” was released by the Israeli Defense Forces on Monday along with grisly new bodycam footage that shows Hamas fighters gunning down civilians.
The kidnapping directives — imprinted with a watermark that reads “al-Quds brigade” and labeled “Top secret” in Arabic — also include instructions on how to livestream kidnappings, a tactic that was used by some Hamas hostage takers during the Oct. 7 attack.”
“The documents also suggest that hostage-taking was a core goal of Hamas’ strike and that the group planned to document it in both photos and videos.”
