The sources do not support the claim that the Jewish Bund attacked an Orthodox procession on June 1, 1906, killing 25 people.
What was said
… They're cleansing the area of these, you know, of the Gentiles, was was normal. The only time it gets called a pogrom is when the the Gentiles fought back. Um, I cite the June 1, 1906, the Jewish Bund, heavily armed, attacked a nationalist, uh, actually was an Orthodox procession, killing 25 people. And let me let me quote the Vilnius Gazette here from the Baltics, and I quoted that from Platonov, that same book of his. …

Contradicts. The U.S. diplomatic report describes the procession shooting as the work of Jewish anarchists who killed several participants, not the Bund, and reports a total of about 100 killed on both sides.[1]
Contradicts. Sources on the Białystok pogrom report the Orthodox procession was fired on, but a peasant later confessed to being paid to fire on it, so the perpetrators are not established as the Bund.[3]
Contradicts. A historical account says that after the Orthodox procession was attacked, Polish Christians scattered through the city destroying Jewish property, which conflicts with the claim that the Bund attacked the procession.[2][4]
Contradicts. The pogrom's death toll is documented at roughly 80 to 100 or more Jews, and the figure of 25 killed matches a list of victims from a July 1905 bombing rather than the June 1906 procession attack.[2][5][6]
Context. The June 1, 1906 date matches Old Style dating for the events of June 14, 1906 (New Style), which is consistent with the claim's date.[5]
Context. Source 9 notes that Bund-organized self-defense groups resisted attacks during the pogroms, which is a different role from attacking a procession.[7]
