I can understand some of what you're feeling here but to me Romans 11 isn't an excerpt, it's a chapter on exactly what you're talking about. Paul uses the analogy of an olive tree and Judaism is the root of our faith in God. He also speaks on how they didn't accept the new covenant and how their branches were trimmed from the tree and gentiles were grafted on as we did accept the new covenant. He also tells us not to be haughty because Jews are still God's chosen people and the promises God made in the Old Testament are irrevocable and will come to fruition.What i get from that chapter is that someJews chose a sentimental way of laws and religion and refused to accept Jesus because that would change much of how they'd worshipped for forever. They sinned by not trusting God and they've paid for it but the promises still remain and will be fulfilled and we, as Christians, should support them and recognize the history of their persecution and sacrifices for God because they are His chosen people and they paved the way for us.Some of Paul's writings were difficult for me to understand but asking God for help in understanding and actually studying the Bible have helped me, maybe it would help you as well.
