 http://www.josephus.org/question.htm this contains a load of q&A both citing reason to doubt but more over far more legit reasons to believe.

That doesn't mention any new discovery either.  The only reference to 1995 there is regarding the aforementioned article which discusses the Testimonium in relation to the Gospel of Luke, and a quotation of it in the work of a tenth century writer which appears to simply be a quotation of earlier mentions (see here).  The latter is easily explained as relying on the Eusebian account by way of the Syriac.  Anyway, that version was known in 1909 and so cannot be the new discovery to which you refer.

What new discovery are you talking about?

there is a time line in the links provided that has discoveries posted on the josephus web site and in 1995 part of the time line outlines what was discovered.

apparently there was an arabic version found of the josephus' writings which included the bit about jesus being the messiah. Again messiah=/= God or son of God to the average Jew. They thought he were here to liberate them from Rome. Josephus with hindsight from the messiah's failure of 70 ad, awarded the title to Jesus given what he was known for, but the jews had him killed. Meaning the 70 ad event was punishment from God for killing the real 'savior' (again the jewish version.) They the Jews did not understand the type of salvation Jesus was offering.

then look it up apart from the link. josephus.org 

Maybe your tandy 386 with your 14K modem can't handle the website's futuristic graphics.. maybe it is time for an up grade
