I recently told my friends, jokingly, that I think that I could be a Jew. But when I really started to think about it I think more and more that I could convert. So what in general do Jews believe?

Judaism believes in the Golden Rule just like Christianity and Islam and Buddhism and all the major religions. Jews have a saying that goes something like this:
Do not do onto others what you don't wish done onto you. That's the Torah (Jewish law) -- all the rest is commentary.
Christianity is a spin off of Judaism. One of the biggest differences is that in Christianity the most important thing is what you believe, in Judaism the most important thing is how you live.

One God, 10 Commandments, no specification of an afterlife, is most important to try to improve the world while you're here. And don't believe the idiot that said Jews believe that Jesus is the Messiah because we don't.

People are idiots and answer things they don't know. That's entertaining.
Judaism has 13 basic beliefs called the Ani Maamim (I Believe). They are:
1) I believe with complete faith that the Creator, blessed is His name, creates and guides all created things, and that He alone made, is making, and will continue to make everything.
2) I believe with complete faith that the Creator, blessed is His name, is One, and there is no Oneness that can compare to His in any way, and that He alone is G-d who always was, is, and will always be.
3) I believe with complete faith that the Creator, blessed is His name, is not physical and cannot be changed by physical forces, and there is nothing that can compare to hIm in the least.
4) I believe with complete faith that the Creator, blessed is His name, is the very first and the very last.
5) I believe with complete faith that the Creator, blessed is His name - TO Him alone is it proper to pray and it is not permissable to pray to any other.
6) I believe with complete faith that the words of the Biblical prophets are true.
7) I believe with complete faith that the prophecy of Moses our teacher, peace be upon him, was true, and that he was the greatest of the prophets - both those who preceed him and those who came after him.
8) I believe with complete faith that the entire Torah now in our hands is the same one that was given to Moses, our teacher, peace be upon him.
9) I believe with complete faith theat our TOrah will not be switched with another, nor will another TOrah come from the Creator, Blessed is His name.
10) I believe with complete faith that the Creator, blessed is His name, knows every action of human beings and their thoughts, as it is said, "He makes all their hearts, he knows all their actions." (Psalms 33:15)
11) I believe with complete faith that the Creator, blessed is His name, rewards with good those who observe his commandments and punishes those who violate his commandments.
12) I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Messiah, and even though he takes his time, I expect him everyday.
13) I believe with complete faith that there will be a resurection of the dead whenever the Creator, Blessed is His name, wants. Blessed is his name, and great is the mention of Him, forever and ever.

If someone is not jewish you can treat them like an animal, rip them off, molest their kids. Its all the in the Talmud. Also take over a country's media and financial sector and use it to destroy their culture. If they complain just say they are jealous antisemites. Steal land from Muslims and shoot Palestinian kids. If anyone complains call them a terrorist. BTW they dont want converts because they want to keep their race pure.
