Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "Intifada" refers specifically to the Palestinian uprisings against Israel in the late 1980s and again in the late 1990s. The term means "shaking off" in Arabic and was used to describe the popular, grassroots nature of the Palestinian resistance movements. The Arab Spring refers to a series of uprisings and revolutions across the Middle East and North Africa in the early 2010s, while Jihad is a broader term encompassing various forms of struggle or striving, including armed struggle in some interpretations, and does not refer specifically to the PLO uprisings.
