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.)
