the best counterargument is actually contained within the talmud. for your ease of reading, this picrel contains a variety of sources (secular academic, christian, judaic, and islamic). you can check these sources yourself, as they are starred for ease-of-reference. they aren't merely wikipage references, they're firsthand sources such books, research papers respected by non-religious and religious scholars alike, and the direct bilingual references themselves from accurate translations.  to state that jesus was a machiavellian mythos created by jews is simply absurd, they genuinely detest the figure even in their own holy texts. the oldest surviving copy of the talmud is the munich talmud, which the paper references. you can get a digital copy of it yourself and check the censorship performed by rabbis for when references to jesus appear. christianity may have been co-opted as a noahide slave religion tool by jews (especially in its present scofield judeo-christian modern form), but the actual figurehead is hated by them and it certainly evolved outside of their control if we judge the previous centuries. this is again the most optimistic interpretation for jews.
