Original Note:
The Arabic speaking world didn't refer to these as intifadas but as 'revolutions' or 'uprising'. The 'Arabic Spring' he is referring to had riots, armed conflict from protestors, and was the prelude to multiple civil wars so cannot be categorised as peaceful. https://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/0/10315/World/0/Syria-clampdown-on-protests-mirrors-Egypts-as-thug.aspx https://web.archive.org/web/20110301043128/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/24/libya-protests-gaddafi-fo_n_827568.html https://www.americamagazine.org/issue/culture/arab-winter https://www.usip.org/egypt-timeline-arab-uprising
