On the website of
Amishav [retrieved] I found the photo of a
boy of the Bnei Menashe tribe holding
a self-made Israeli national flag and the flag of the Amishav organization.
Martin Karner, 19 October 2004
The logo, by the way, is a combination of the Hebrew letter
Ayin (ע) and the English A (the first letter
in the name of the organization in both languages) combined to
form a Star of David (I suppose the extra thin line is added to complete the star).

Amishav (= My people are returning) is a religious non-profitable organization operating mainly
in India and Spanish speaking countries.
Dov Gutterman, 19 October 2004
The Israeli organizations, Amishav is one of them, are helping
the Menashes to relocate to Israel, re-convert and settle there.
Israeli government doesn't want to aggravate the Indians and
keeps quite on the subject of the New Jerusalem state, however
temporary it might be.

"פרויקט תגלית" (English: Discovery Project) colloquially known as "תגלית"
(English: Discovery) (romanized as Taglit), also referred to as "זכות אבות"
(English: Patriarchal right) and even known as "Birthright Israel" is a
not-for-profit educational organization that sponsors free ten-day heritage
trips to Israel, Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights for young adults of Jewish
heritage, aged 18–32 in order to strengthen ties of the Jewish Diaspora with its
homeland. It has its roots as far back as 1994 although it was formally
established in December, 1999 and the first trips were conducted in 2000.

Bnei Akiva (Hebrew: בְּנֵי עֲקִיבָא,
English: "Children of Akiva") is
the largest religious Zionist youth movement in the world, with over
125'000 members in 37 (other sources mention 42) countries and 43
cities (chapters and/or branches). It was first established in
Mandatory Palestine on May 28, 1929, advocating the values of Torah and labor.
Bnei Akiva in Israel is the central youth movement of the religious
Zionist public and the third-largest youth movement in Israel.
There seems to be several organizations (i.e. confederations) that use the name Bnei Akiva and thus use different logos, and perhaps different flags, like:

Eugene Ipavec report a photo of a flag at www.flickr.com.
The flag is of NETZER (lit. stem) which are the initials of No'ar
Zioni Reformi (Progressive Zionist Youth) which is the youth
movement of WUPJ (World Union of Progressive Judaism – est. 1926
in London and from 1973 had its main offices in Jerusalem).
The WUPJ unites local Progressive Judaism movements in
41 states with more from 1200 congregations. You can read more
