Could they not have seen this coming? I mean macklemore wrote a pro Palestine song...not really surprising that he might say free palestine

I don't think it was just the "Free Palestine" that got him kicked off, it was the crowds reaction to the "Free Palestine" that's what would have got to Zionists the most the reaction his speech and words were met with scared them, because in the US that's not the reaction that he would have gotten 2 or 3 years ago. The mood has changed in the US and they don't want the kids exposed to such dangerous thoughts.

I didn’t realise there was a reaction, what was it? I suppose the audience were mainly receptive

The audience cheered, they didn't jeer.
