Jamal Othman, a farmer from Al-Jaroushia, a village in the Tulkarm governorate, is one of many saddening examples of the human costs of the construction of the occupation’s new Wall. Othman’s family has lived in Al-Jaroushia for generations, the second most prominent family in the village of 1400 residents. His extended family of 120 lives on a 400-dunam plot of land.
