There are numerous conflicts and wars that make up the general movement that is the Arab Spring. In nations such as Tunisia and Morocco, there was little bloodshed if any. In other nations such as Syria and Libya, there was much more. At the current moment, depending on what sources you trust, there could be anywhere from 25,000 to 60,000 casualties (civilian and military) across all countries. When the violence dies down and independent counts can be done, these numbers can be confirmed.

Why are the revolts called Arab spring?
The Arab Spring is so called because the weather is best in spring. Buds appear on trees, flowers begin to bloom, grass starts to grow. In short: the world becomes more beautiful. The current Arab uprising resembles spring since its intent is also to make the world a better and more beautiful place.The "winter" that plagued the Arab World before this Arab Spring was populated by dictators and their corrupt and repressive regimes. When these systems can be removed, space will exist for internal development, education, less poverty and fewer diseases. In this restructured and more beautiful environment, Arabs will be capable of building up their countries and take part in the international game from which they have been excluded so far.-----Also, it gained major momentum in the Spring of 2011, leading people to believe the revolution would be over by then, therefore the spring would belong to the Arabs, rather than their oppressors...closely related to the above answerdefines uprisings of people
What did Tunisian protesters want in the Arab Spring?
The Arab Spring is the outcome of a number of repressive policies against Arab citizens from their own governments. This anger was fomenting in the Arab populaces (at different rates in different countries) pretty much since the Independence Movements secured the European Colonizers' retreat. The reason the Arab Spring did not happen earlier is that most Arabs did not believe that they had the power to overthrow their governments. The ouster of Zine Abidine ben Ali in Tunisia changed that view and encouraged Arabs in different states to revolt against their leadership.Arab Spring Protesters had a variety of demands which a number of the Arab Leaders were not willing to concede. Some of these included, but were not limited to the following:1) Democracy: Arabs want a hand in how their own governments create policy as opposed to the dictatorships in the Arab World that masquerade as republics when there are no elections. This is especially pertinent in countries like Syria or Bahrain where the unelected leadership represents the views of a minority religious group.2) Economic Self-Sufficiency: Many Arabs see the current government s as having inadequately built up their economies both in terms of the governments' failure to create jobs and build internal infrastructure as well the governments' failure to make sure that grains like rice and corn remain affordable to the "average Dick and Jane Arab".3) So-Called First Amendment Rights: Many Arabs, especially from unrepresented minorities (like Jews and Christians) want the ability to openly pray to their Gods in their proper context and to do so on equal footing with the predominant religion (Sunni Islam). Arabs also want to have the freedom to criticize their leaders and to protest freely against them if need be.4) Citizenship over Race/Religion: A major trend in the Arab World has gone unrecognized by the authorities prior to the Arab Spring. Most people in Arab countries belong to a certain ethnic, religious, and tribal group that the state identifies and discriminates between. Many protesters in the Arab Spring would prefer official recognition that all people who live within the borders of a country are citizens regardless of race or religion and should have equal rights and privileges.5) Transparency: Arab Regimes are notoriously corrupt. Nepotism, racism, and many other non-meritocratic means are used to promote people into positions of power and wealth. Arab Spring Protesters want a government that is accountable to its people and that functions based on meritocracy.

Is the Arab Spring conflict the same as the Arab-Israeli Conflict?
No. The Arab Spring is the outcome of a number of repressive policies against Arab citizens from their own governments. This anger was fomenting in the Arab populaces (at different rates in different countries) pretty much since the Independence Movements secured the European Colonizers' retreat. The reason the Arab Spring did not happen earlier is that most Arabs did not believe that they had the power to overthrow their governments. The ouster of Zine Abidine ben Ali in Tunisia changed that view and encouraged Arabs in different states to revolt against their leadership. The Arab Spring will probably, like most revolutionary movements, be time-bound from late 2010 to 2015 or so. The Arab-Israeli Conflict is a long-standing fight between the Arab Nations' Governments (in concert with their populations' desires) and the Israeli Government (in concert with its populations' desires) over the future of the territory formerly known as the British Mandate of Palestine. It is a conflict over how much of that territory (if any) should belong to a Jewish State, how much of that territory (if any) should belong to an Arab State, and various secondary issues that inflame the issue. The Arab-Israeli Conflict is an international, but governments-led confrontation that will continue for many more years. Now, this is not to say that the change in government that comes about as a result of the Arab Spring will not affect the Arab-Israeli Conflict. The strongest change will most likely be the ending of the Egyptian-Israeli Alliance that Mubarak maintained. (This is not to say that Egypt will reneg on the Peace of 1979, but that they will not coordinate military policies with Israel.)
