B'nai B'rith (from b'né brit, "Children of the Covenant")[1] is the oldest Jewish service organization in the world. B'nai B'rith states that it is committed to the security and continuity of the Jewish people and the State of Israel and combating antisemitism and bigotry. Its mission is to unite persons of the Jewish faith and to enhance Jewish identity through strengthening Jewish family life, to provide broad-based services for the benefit of senior citizens, and to facilitate advocacy and action on behalf of Jews throughout the world.

B'nai B'rith membership certificate, 1876

It's organisation secrecy and degrees of membership are analagous to Gentile Freemasonry and both draw on the esotricism of the Kabbalah

B'nai B'rith International is affiliated with the World Jewish Congress.

Victor Ostrovsky“When I was in the Mossad and we had a guy that gave us problems in the US, and he was speaking out, and he was talking like, like Pete talked once and said: "Israel is bombing Lebanon with cluster bombs". We say hey, who is that guy? Pete מקק we used to call him, which is Pete the cockroach. Because he makes a lot of noise and you can't get rid of him. So what you do is you get in touch with the guy in the station in New York, or in the station in Washington and you say: tell the guys at B'nai B'rith to label him. And of course the campaign starts and before you know it the guy is labelled .. and he is an anti-semite. Because that's what we say he is. And that's one stain that you can not wash.”Victor Ostrovsky1 September 1995
