I am not sure where you are getting these "meanings." It sounds like they are coming from a group that is trying to dehumanize anyone that is not a part of their own group. This is something that serial killers do to justify their inhumane treatment of their victims. I would not accept these definitions as the true "meaning" of these terms.

It's a figure of speech. Paul even said as much in the chapter. He's saying that Israel lost some of the blessings, prestige, etc., that they had shared in the past and that God is now working with the Gentiles to make something much better than two separate things. Grafting a branch into a healthy tree is, or at least used to be, fairly common among, say, apple growers. So Paul is trying to say (and he did go into a lot of detail here) that God is adding Gentiles into his program for bringing glory to Himself. Israel had had that opportunity, but failed. The Old Testament gives many examples of this. The Church, composed of Jew and Gentile alike, is what God is using now to show His glory to the world. That's at least what I get out of the passage. If you can find a copy of "Romans: The Gospel of God's Grace" by Dr. Alva J. McClain, you can get his explanation. It's worth it if you can find it. That was the textbook we used at Liberty University (Liberty Baptist College, before then) for the course in "Romans/Corinthians".

"Israel" is not a title. It's a second name. Again, I explained how he got it according to Jewish theology.
As for your little tidbit of info about "salamo alaikum," Jews don't say "sham alikum" they say, "shalom aleichem" which also means "peace be unto you." We speak Hebrew--it's a different language, remember?

Screw you, you anti-Semitic bigot. You are just jealous of the Jews because they are God's chosen people and not you. Arabs and Muslims are the step children of Abraham, and they are nothing more than a bunch of fit throwing rejects.

"Gentile" is an English word and I don't know what's its origin. The Hebrew word for the non-Jews is "goyim" and this just means "the peoples" or "the nations".
