The only sense I can make out of this thought is that we are all grafted in and therefore part of the vine and in that sense we are all who believe Jews

Better than “Jews”, we are the “True Israel” grafted into the “True Vine”. Modern Jews are all branches that were cast off because they bore no fruit (rejected the True Vine) and those ancient Jews (like Peter, Paul, John) who embraced “messiah” became True Israel (the Church) along with we who were grafted in (Gentiles).

I don't know why anyone would think that the Lord's Supper is for the Jews only when Christ died for all when he sacrificed himself for our sins on the cross and made it clear he came for the gentiles and not only the Jews.
The "all" must be limited to all whom God has redeemed, otherwise many would participate in the Lord's Supper as blasphemers of Christ.

I submit to that as being truth and I didn't clearly think through my response.
