Technically it is true, but for the vast majority of Jews, praying actively for the Messiah to come is not part of everyday Jewish life. Belief in the MEssiah, as well as the overall purpose of the Messiah varies greatly among different sects of Judaism.

Yes, but the fundamental difference is that they are not looking for a god-man to save them from their sins.
Everything about the christian belief system is against what judaism teaches. Their messiah will be a political ruler who will bring peace to them and be an example to the world. It has nothing to do with sin or the need to have a human sacrifice.

Yes. Christians added their book to the Jewish book, saying that they have the messiah, but when the people who wrote the original book are saying 'no, that isn't the messiah', it makes you wonder. Did God pull a fast one on his chosen people, or do his chosen people know the truth?

Yes. And Muslims are still waiting for the true Messiah - Jesus Christ, may God bless him.

Yes, many are. The problem is, if Yeshua is not Messiah, the Jews do not have one. For one, they lost their scepter to rule when Rome took away their right to capitol punishment. This broke the prophesy of Isaac in Genesis 49. Look it up in Josephus, the Jewish leaders mourned in the streets in sackcloth regarding this.
Messiah is to be born in Bethlehem, which is now under Palestinian rule.
Messiah was to come in April 33AD according to the prophecy of Daniel. If Yeshua is not Messiah, then messiah is too late.
Messiah was suppose to be traced back to King David. No Jews living today can trace their lineage back to David. How would you know?
They reject Yeshua because they believe that the Messiah was suppose to be a man--not God. Although He was prophesied to be God in the Tonakh, He was also prophesied to be "the Stone of stumbling" and a "Rock of offense". It was prophesied that He would be rejected upon His first coming (like Joseph and Moses) but would be recognized upon His second coming (like Joseph and Moses).
Psalm 118:22
The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
Currently, God has veiled the eyes of the Jewish people so that the majority do not see Yeshua as their Messiah. However, this veil will not last forever. There will be a time when God will lift the veil from their eyes. This is detailed by Paul in Romans 11.

Yeh! because they don't believe the messiah has ever came yet, where as I do I believed he came 2000 years ago and his name was Jesus Christ :D

If only the Jews would compare their laws with the prophecies fulfilled by Jesus Christ, they'd know Jesus is the Messiah.

Yes because we do not believe he fulfilled all the messianic prophecies before dying
