But apparently not the background to understand that "Yeshu" itself is an insult to Jesus Christ, not a shortening of His Hebrew name, hence why the footnote names "Jesus" in explanation, the Greek alliteration of a Jewish name, to help Jews understand who it is in reference to.
Yeshu is the Aramaic version of Yehoshua. Yes, varios Joshua's are refered to with the shortened name to distance them from Jews.

Now answer the point that you were referring to someone who died 70 years before Jesus was born. Jews being untrustworthy is only proof of your prejudice and refusal to apply logic.

Apparently you also don't have the background to know what Christ's actual name is in Aramaic, which, actually, spells nearly identical and sounds nearly the same as Yeshua.

The other name in Aramaic and Hebrew literature of "Yeshu" has the same meaning as in the Hebrew: an insult that is only used for Jesus Christ.

I mean, literally, the first thing you see on google if you type in "Aramaic name of Jesus" is a blurb that says:

"There are no undisputed examples of any Aramaic or Hebrew text where Yeshu refers to anyone else than Jesus."

So you don't have the background to even be using a search engine.

Now answer the point

Answer the point? I won the point when you failed to explain why Jewish footnotes by Jewish scholars would identify "Yeshu" as "Jesus," using the transliterated Greek version of a name that refers only to Jesus, instead of "Joshua" or some other explanation.

That is because Yeshu isn't a name and it is only used for Jesus.
