Question

what was a major difference between the first and second intifadas?
the second intifada was resolved peacefully through negotiations.
the second intifada involved increased violence and civilian deaths.
the first intifada included attacks launched by the group hamas.
the first intifada had greater international support for both sides.

Explanation:

The First Intifada (1987 - 1993) was more of a grassroots, non - violent (initially) uprising with stone - throwing and civil disobedience. The Second Intifada (2000 - 2005) saw a significant increase in violence. There were more suicide bombings by Palestinian groups (such as Hamas, which became more prominent in the Second Intifada, not the first) and a more intense military response from Israel. This led to a much higher number of civilian casualties on both sides compared to the First Intifada. The First Intifada did not have greater international support for both sides in a way that is a key differentiator. And the Second Intifada was not resolved peacefully through negotiations (the Oslo Accords were related to the end of the First Intifada process).

Answer:

The second intifada involved increased violence and civilian deaths.
