the first intifada was largely non-violent and the response was brutal crackdowns and people spent jailtime for things like painting a picture using the colors of the Palestinian flag or were deported and killed for organizing protests.

I think the fact that it was more successful than the second more violent intifada is a consideration but what it eventually got them was expanded settlement and less freedom while Israel "negotiated".
