    The "them" can actually only refer to the "they" at the beginning of the sentence (with some goodwill it might also refer to the "women and children" but I somehow doubt that you had that in mind).
    Even in the sentence previous to the last one, the "terrorists" are the subject of the sentence.

    So at least technically you indeed accused Beirut of supporting the terrorists that target women and children - IMO an apology might be a fine idea...
    I'm just messing with him. I know Crazed Rabbit didn't mean it that way. But his style of writing is endemic to many who speak about the Palestinians and jump back and forth between "Palestinian" and "terrorists" in their conversation like it's understood by all that they are one and the same.

    Oops ... sorry.

    I guess I tend to be more thin-skinned when I post from work

    Perhaps everybody could just ignore my previous nit-picking post

    No-no. I think you were spot on.

    I'm just having a little fun at someone else's grammatical expense.
