"Put off your appearance in Israel, the children of Gaza need your help," the activists said.
"Madonna, open your heart to the people of Gaza," wrote one of the activists, chattering to Madonna's song "Open you heart" and added, "Palestinians are being slaughtered by Israel for demanding the basic human rights of freedom and life.
The caption added a caricature of Madonna with leather boots and a mesh netting as she stood next to a smiling Israeli soldier who was treading a Palestinian boy on a brown tear.
"Madonna, artists and countries participating in the Eurovision Song Contest are taking part in the normalization of the murder of Palestinians and the Zionist occupation," read another page of BDS activists. "Serious efforts are needed to emphasize Israel's crimes."
