The band's performances on the stage were eagerly awaited and their aggressive performances have predictably disrupted the otherwise kitsch edition of the singing competition.

But the political elements of this year 's broadcast hovered over the debates and members of the group acquiesced in the controversy by waving Palestinian flags at the time of the announcement of the results.

Madonna's performance during the show also featured the Palestinian flag on the back of a dancer's outfit, next to the Israeli flag on the back of another dancer while the two were walking arm in arm arm under.

"Never underestimate the power of music to bring people together," said the legend of pop before performing on stage.

Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, Brian Eno, pioneer of electronic music, as well as directors Ken Loach and Mike Leigh were among the British celebrities who had previously called for the boycott of Eurovision this year.

And some demonstrations continued in Tel Aviv, the host city, just before the show.
