Vice President Joe Biden's trip to the region, was badly timed. But the only reason that there's been such a stink about it is because of the timing. Latching on to east Jerusalem like it might save their fledging nation is a desperate move by the Palestinians that hasn't ever gained traction. Now is just a convenient time to exploit it.

It's time to slap them on the wrist, and move on.
