Not only Reform Jews but 99% of Judaism believes that Jesus was a false Messiah and any Jew who believes in Jesus as the Messiah has apostasized.
When the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and scattered Abraham's descendants in 70 AD, no one thought that the Khazars would convert to Judaism and rejuvenate the Jewish race.

a·pos·tate (É-pÅs'tÄt', -tÄt) n. One who has abandoned one's religious faith, a political party, one's principles, or a cause.
It's not just Reform Jews. Jews who do not accept Jesus as their Messiah, about 98%, of those who call themselves Jews believe this as well. If a person believes in Jesus as Messiah, they are Christian (follower of Christ) and not Jewish.

Because the trial is still going on.
Here's the facts.
All of the Apostles were Jewish.
All of the first Christians were Jewish.
Tens of thousands of Jews accepted Christ as the Messiah in the 1st Century.
None of them stopped being Jewish.
At one time a fifth of Jerusalem consisted of Jewish Christians.
And still today there are Jews who believe He is the Messiah. More every day.
"Salvation is of the Jews."

I don't think they do but many Jews would feel so because the concept of deviating from the Old Test. is an inherent contradiction to it. As well, belief in Jesus as a God is heretical, as the Creator God is not bound to human form and would not appear in such a form perhaps for the very reason that then men would claim that they were God.

Because they do not accept Jesus as the Messiah. They say the true Messiah is yet to come.

Because we don't think that Jesus is the messiah.
And I don't consider people who believe this to be apostates so much as not Jewish.

The Messiah was to be a world conquerer. It does happen, but only on the second time around. The first time was to engraft the gentiles to the Jewish line of Adam and Abraham.

Because Jesus has no place in Judaism. He does not fit the description of the messiah at all.

Jews dont believe that jesus came yet.and an apostate is someone who speaks out against god(not by not believing in him but telling lies about him) and his people and that most likely has been in religious organizations and spreads false rumors and information about/against them most likely to cause them harm.

Only the first dozen because after the 12 apostates, there isn't room for any more.
