Galatians 2:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
Galatians 2:12 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
12 For prior to the arrival of certain people from [the community headed by] Ya‘akov, he had been eating with the Gentile believers; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he was afraid of the faction who favored circumcising Gentile believers.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
The nations mean the Gentiles. James ate with the Gentiles which were not done because of him being Jewish, clean they saw Gentiles as unclean, and most likely the food they ate. The Gentiles would let James eat with them but James would do the same for them, James wanted to please his friends instead of doing what is right. James because of this would not be the one God would call to share the gospel with the nations.
