Just lifting this excerpt from someone I follow on twitter. I believe this is a translation the author is doing as part of their phd work.

I’m not an expert but it seems to me people tend to really try to minimize the degree of bundist enmity toward zionists

e: I added some other bundist excerpts

We are not only talking about practical political work, although the appearances of Zionist
"pragmatists" with antisemites seem to surpass mere pragmatism. We are talking about the principal, psychological perspective of Zionism which sees no issue in covering itself completely with the frameworks of extreme, antisemitic and nationalist elements in other nations.

Just like the antisemites, Zionists remain resolute in their belief of dominant nations and weaker nations. Just like the antisemites, Zionists believe that Jews are in "excess" around the world, so much so that the nations "oversaturated" with Jews should have the right to liberate themselves of their "Jewish burden."

Yitzhak Gruenbaum, the leader of the Zionist Organization in Poland, is well-known as an
"irresponsible person." He earned this description in 1928 where he stated at an election meeting in Lublin that "Jews poison the air of Poland." Not one Zionist condemned him for these comments at the time. In 1936, when Gruenbaum, so "graciously" returning to Poland from Palestine, referred to Jewish businessmen in Poland as an "obstacle" in the way of fine society, only the very fringes of Zionist society made any uproar. The matter was quickly swept under the rug by Arn Aynhorn writing for Today in an article about "dark clouds" over Palestine, where he refers to the Jewish question as a "disease that the world has suffered from for two thousand years." (!)

The plague, the worldwide affliction here, is apparently not antisemitism. Neither is cannibalistic chauvinism seen as the disaster, the sickness, and the tragedy that it is on all of humanity. No, in the Zionist's mind, the world suffers from Jews. This inferiority complex is in Zionism's blood.
