Right-wing media figures who built their brands opposing cancel culture are cheering Macklemore's removal from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour after he said "free Palestine" on stage, a bad look for free-speech consistency and good news for pro-Israel donors who want criticism of Israel to carry a career cost.

• Patriots owner Robert Kraft led the push to pull Macklemore from the tour, and several of the stadium owners involved backed him.
• Ben Shapiro, Fox & Friends hosts, and Fox contributor Jason Rantz all defended the move, arguing venue owners can bar anyone they find offensive.
• The same commentators have spent years attacking the left for cancel culture, and critics say they only draw the line at criticism of Israel, not at open antisemitism from figures like Kanye West or Nick Fuentes.
• Kraft also pushed to punish pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia, and over 30 states now have laws penalizing boycotts of Israel.
• Ed Sheeran is taking heat from both sides for staying silent.

Outlook: Expect more artists and public figures to face professional consequences for pro-Palestinian statements, with the cancel-culture fight increasingly splitting along Israel lines rather than left-right lines.
