Best Answer

There was only really one side of the Arab Spring Protests. It was formed primarily of liberal groups who opposed the government under Hosni Mubarak and the Egyptian Army decided to support the protesters over the government. With the election of Mohammed Morsi of Muslim Brotherhood and his Islamist policies, Egyptian liberals protested again for him to step down. The army intervened and deposed Morsi. This led to protests from more conservative Islamist groups in Egypt who saw Morsi as representing what they wanted out of government. Now the army is going after the Morsi supporters.

Who participated in the Arab spring revolution in Egypt?

The predominant participants in Egypt's Arab Spring Revolution were young people (between the ages of 15 and 30) from Egypt's major cities. The majority were also from the left wing and were secularists. The Islamists were able to take advantage of the Revolution because of their stronger connections among the populace.


When did Arab Spring happen?

How does Arab Spring relate to Israel?

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. However, Israel has been a democratic country since independence. Minorities have always been in the Israeli Knesset. (Seif el-Din el-Zoubi was an Arab Muslim member of the first Knesset in 1949.) As a result, while there may be anger in Israel proper, it was insufficient to demand a government change. There were protests in Israel at around the same time, but these were over housing price issues. In the Palestinian Territories, there were some protests in the West Bank over Fatah's perceived failure to create an independent Palestinian State, but there is no real opposition party or group to challenge Fatah, so many Palestinians feel desperate, but with no alternatives. There was also the fear of Israeli soldiers mobilizing against the protests. In Gaza, Hamas violently quelled any attempt at Arab Spring. This is not to say that the changes in foreign governments that come 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.)


How long did Tunisia's Arab Spring last?

Strictly speaking, it's not over. The Arab Spring is not just the revolution and protests that brought democratic processes to the Middle East, but the continued use of those democratic processes to bring about a flowering of Arab Society. In Tunisia, there is a high chance of success as concerns this growth and development. As concerns the revolting and protesting, it only took about month's time (from the 18th of December to Ben Ali's flight from the country on January 11th).
