I understand it perfectly.

Here's the verse in question:

Matthew

11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works
were done, because they repented not:
11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty
works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would
have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.    (11:21-24)
11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at
the day of judgment, than for you.
11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought
down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had
been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

So even the babies born in those towns are doomed?

Well, according to legitimate archaelogical sources, those towns didn't
suffer destruction like Sodom did.
(And from all archaelogical evidence, Sodom was destroyed by a severe
earthquake and subsequent fires.)

Once again, you show that you know diddly squat about the Bible.
