Bay Area commuters might get a taste of controversy with their morning coffee this week, as new ads calling for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel are posted in prominent transit stations in Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco.

The ads, part of a year-old national campaign, depict two grandfathers — one Israeli and one Palestinian — each holding a grandchild. The text reads “Join with us. Build peace with justice and equality. End U.S. military aid to Israel,” along with a web address for the Committee for a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine. The Chicago-based organization launched the original version of the initiative there in 2010; since then, local campaigns have placed ads on buses and billboards or in transit stations in Washington, D.C., Boston, Phoenix and Albuquerque, N.M.
