The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Luxembourgish: Groussherzogtum Lëtzebuerg, French: Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, German: Großherzogtum Luxemburg) is a small landlocked country in western Europe, bordered by Belgium, France, and Germany. Luxembourg has a population of under half a million people in an area of about 2,600 square kilometres (997 sq mi), which is slightly smaller than the American state of Rhode Island.
Luxembourg is a parliamentary representative democracy with a constitutional monarchy, ruled by a Grand Duke. It is the world's only sovereign Grand Duchy. Luxembourg is a founding member of the European Union, NATO, the United Nations, Benelux, and the Western European Union, reflecting the political consensus in favour of economic, political, and military integration. The city of Luxembourg, the capital and largest city, is the seat of several institutions and agencies of the European Union.
Luxembourg lies on the cultural divide between Romance Europe and Germanic Europe, borrowing customs from each of the distinct traditions. While French and Luxembourgish are the predominant languages in daily life and on the streets, Luxembourg remains a trilingual country; French, German, and Luxembourgish are official languages. Although a secular state, Luxembourg is predominantly Roman Catholic.

After 400 years of domination by various European nations, Luxembourg was granted the status of
Grand Duchy by the Congress of Vienna on June 9, 1815. Although Luxembourg considers 1835 (Treaty of London) to be its year
of independence, it was not granted political autonomy until 1839 under King William I of the Netherlands, who also was the
Grand Duke of Luxembourg. In 1867, Luxembourg was recognized as independent and guaranteed perpetual neutrality. After being
occupied by Germany in both World Wars, Luxembourg abandoned neutrality and became a charter member of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1949. It is also one of the six original members of the European Union, formed in 1951 as the
European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC).
The present sovereign, Grand Duke Henri, succeeded his father, Grand Duke Jean, on October 7, 2000. Grand
Duke Jean announced his decision to abdicate in December 1999, after a 35-year reign.
The national language of Luxembourg is Luxembourgish, a blend of Dutch, old German, and Frankish elements.
The official language of the civil service, law, and parliament is French, although criminal and legal debates are conducted
partly in Luxembourgish and police case files are recorded in German. German is the primary language of the press. French
and German are taught in the schools, with German spoken mainly at the primary level and French at the secondary level.

Pro Israel and Peace at the sametime? Then you should considered a balanced option, and
that means to assist in Arab - Israeli Reconciliations through the private sector and developing stronger human connections-relationships,
while at the sametime avoid the political aspects of this-as much as possible. Here are two WebSites you schould look
at. Remember : " Balanced ." On the right is Israel Information Center Ithaca, and below is The Foundation for
Arab Israeli Reconciliation-Ithaca, New York. This is good place for you to start.

Why this here ?: Safety in travel is inter-dependent upon the ability
of each society to provide reasonable assurances to in coming quests. Thus, in the real effort to assure this, and in
respect to on-going events, a private effort of individuals should be attempted. Reconciliation is more of a human being
to human private aspect within one's own personality to another persons view, and visa versa. Thus those who know both
the Israelis and Arabs alike should help develop private relationships based upon the strenght of their common ethnocentricities.
This in turn will assist in making your environment more safe.
