You are free to believe otherwise.
We find in Romans 11 that Israel is compared to the tame olive tree and Gentiles to a wild olive tree- It says branches were broken off of the Jewish tree that the Gentiles might be grafted in; BUT NOTICE CAREFULLY, the Gentile Branches Are Grafted in Contrary to Nature (Verse 24). This is a very important point, that is often overlooked. For example when a lemon branch is grafted into an orange tree, according to nature it bears lemons on the orange tree. This is according to nature in all kinds of grafting. The bud or branch put into another tree bears fruit that exactly corresponds to the tree from which the bud or branch was taken. This is according to nature and no man can change it.
The Gentile branches, however, are grafted in contrary to nature. — Romans 1 1 : 24. Hence the lemon branch put into an orange tree will not bear lemons anymore, but the fruit from it will look just like the fruit from the Orange tree. Therefore when Gentiles are grafted into the Abraham family they no longer resemble Gentiles, but they appear as Jews, and the world in general will recognize them as Jews just the same as they would call the fruit from the lemon branch oranges and not recognize it as lemons.
They are now Israelites and were once Gentiles but this, grafting process through Jesus Christ the Messiah has changed them so that they resemble Jews. “If you are a child of God, then are you Abraham’s seed and an heir according to the promise” Gal. 3:29 — You are a Jew inwardly. Romans 2:29.
