Tricky one. Marine hasn't publicly said where she stands on her father's openly revisionist attitude to the Holocaust (describing the gas chambers as a 'detail of history', I believe), there are some within the Jewish community who believe her to be an anti-Semite:

I think what we must learn from this, is that Madonna is better than anyone in the history of popular music at getting attention.
I've been to all her concerts and witnessed her singing whilst wearing a crown of thorns on a crucifix, 'pleasuring' herself whilst dancers dressed as hermaphrodites 'attend' to her and include a dance routine where a Middle Eastern dancer rips off a burkha to perform a dance routine in a bra and panties.
Marine should've taken the high ground, issuing a statement saying that "Nazis were responsible for the greatest genocide known to Europe, and to use that imagery in a pop concert shames the memory of those who died".
That's me playing devil's advocate.
In reality, I'm overjoyed that Madonna has rattled Le Pen, and am thoroughly looking forward to seeing Madonna in all her glory in Hyde Park on Tuesday...

Gromit, not when it's plastered across the face of Marine Le Pen. The inference is there to see.
If you listen to Le Pen's speeches, she ain't no wilting wallflower, and has as much subtlety as a sledgehammer. The family doesn't seem to be particularly enamoured of immigration, blacks, Jews, and so forth, but
Madonna shouldn't have done this.

I have never been more interested in the BBC's weather pages, especially after the big Kylie/Jason reunion was rained out only last week.
Fortunately, Madonna sold her soul to the devil back in '84, in return for ever-lasting fame, so hopefully that will guarantee clement weather for the show.
Back to the original question - in a broader sense, pop stars should be wary of dabbling in politics. They always come off as naive dupes (think of Bono, Sting, Clapton and Bowie).
Madonna knows that all she has to do is ruffle some feathers and bang...she's in the papers again. There literally hasn't been a period during her 30 year career where she hasn't courted, massaged or slept with controversy.
...and the media (and we) play right into it every flipping time.
I raise a glass to her stamina, if not her vocal range.

She did something vaguely similar during her last tour.
It was shortly before the US elections, and to my recollection, she had images of 'good' public figures (Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa) flashed up on a video screen next to Obama, and then 'bad' public figures (Hitler stands out) flashed up against an image of John McCain:

The problem is (and many pop stars don't realise this) is that their audience don't give a rat's fart about their beliefs.
When Madonna starts 'politicking' the majority of the audience cheers, but in truth, all they want her to do is sing 'Papa Don't Preach'.

She's hardly going to worry. The French courts aren't very hot on libel and only impose a small penalty which she could pay out of about one minute's earnings !
Anyway, Marine le Pen should be grateful for the publicity that she herself gets from this. A big opportunity for her to get herself in the papers presents itself.
