I should add that not "all of Israel" rejected Christ. This simply is not what the Word tells us.
Romans 11:7 NLT - "So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking for so earnestly. A few have--the ones God has chosen--but the hearts of the rest were hardened."
"Most" implies not all of Israel. This is extremely important. We cannot simply skip over this detail, for there is an incredibly important reason for why some did find the Favor of the Lord. We must know this answer if we are to understand the Word of God.

Two interesting posts, waiting for further explanation. Remember Romans 11 also says the blinding isn't permanent, only for a time.
