The OP asked if it was possible that the government sabotaged the launch because the national company behind the payload was in the process of selling itself to a foreign company and rival power.
There was no hint or insinuation of racism, you chose to see what wasn't there. You talk about paranoid rationale of countries killing birds thought to be Israeli spies as absurd, your rant trumps that paranoia.
The question itself is quite valid because, on the international stage, Israel is known for playing hardball and not above making attacks against allies or on foreign soil. However it's clear that other countries, particularly the US, have a far greater interest in that deal falling through. In any case it's not unreasonable to suspect sabotage though Israel isn't the most likely suspect.
