I think a lot of people misinterpret the Israel stuff (and Romans), because of the habit of looking at individual verses out of context and even ignoring other 'scripture' and writings that's not in the collected bible. I don't think it's the ethnic people but the spiritual. In old testament times, yes it was the ethnic people and that's why they had laws to set them apart from others, circumcision, types of clothing allowed to wear, eat, etc. Then, in the new covenant, the believer is God's people, and the laws about what can be eaten, worn, etc are done away because now the distinguishing thing is how you love & treat others, and faith of course. Israel comes back into the fold as I understand it, as the 'Witnesses' mentioned in Revelation. But I also believe God gives different people different understandings to fulfill different purposes.
