T.C. Schmidt:
Jesus led many Jews and Greeks. Jesus brought over many Jews and Greeks.
It sounds like he’s leading a rebellion.
Neal Sendlak (Gnostic Informant):
The Talmud says Jesus led people astray.
Why would Josephus say Jesus won over many of the Greeks?
Steefen:
The Greeks don’t just pop in Acts timeline. There must have been some Greeks who knew of Jesus before Jesus was crucified.
T.C Schmidt:
Josephus uses the same word for strange miracles for Jesus as he used for the magicians of Pharaoh dealing with Moses.

“They” are judging the TF as being an interpolation because it contains clauses that described the beliefs of messianic Jews.
How can a historian write an accurate history of a religious group without also writing their beliefs to describe them? Cannot be done. The reasons for judging the TF as an interpolation are invalid and not the least bit persuasive. These are scholars who are probably unqualified to even serve on jury duty.
