Many people except Y'hoshua ben Yoseif for many different reasons. Some believe simply because they were taught too, some believe because of faith in the "New Testament" scripture.
I believe because, if Y'hoshua was not the the Mashiakh we have no hope for the Mashiakh at all.
Listen, the Scriptures are clear the Mashiakh must be born at Beth-Lekhem. Today, Bethlehem is an Arab town. The Israeli government handed it over to them and there has been no significant Jewish poplulation there for centuries because it became overrun with C*h*r*i*s*t*ians. Therefore, it is impossible for a scion of Dawid to be born in an Arab town.
Second, the Mashiakh MUST be born of a Scion of Dawid. The Romans slaughtered most of Bet Dawid and Herod destroyed all the genaeological documents to keep any survivors of making the claim. The only jewish documents we have from near this period linking anyone to Davidic lineage is that of Matityahu which contains a written record of an oral genaeology. So, if someone was claiming to be a Scion of Dawid they would abosolutely no proof and it would be IMPOSSIBLE because of 20 centuries of expulsions, scatterings, and slayings for an Jew to know if they are descendant of the great King.
These two facts alone are impossible to get around. If Y'hoshua was not the Mashiakh, we are doomed to have no Mashiakh which HaSheim would never allow to happen.
