Why don't Jews see that the Old Testament prophecies are fulfilled in Jesus?

No really, it's that that begs, or misstates, the question.

It's as if you asked, "Why don't Gentiles walk with Jesus?," because you don't. A more accurate question (in both cases) would be, "Why don't some Jews/Gentiles...?" After all (in the first case) essentially all the first believers in Jesus — to a man, to a woman — were Jews.

A more interesting question, to me, is "Why have so many Jews through the ages embraced the Messiahship of Jesus in spite of the intense family pressure put on many of them not to do so?"

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Whole Chapter: Genesis 1 In context: Genesis 1:25-27)

"Why have so many Jews through the ages embraced the Messiahship of Jesus in spite of the intense family pressure put on many of them not to do so?" Is this question still open for you?

The percentages are miniscule.
