Why was Israel called Gentiles?
1Maccabees 1:41 Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, that all should be one people,

Who was called the Uncircumcision?
Galatians 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

1Maccabees 1:15 And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to do mischief.
