I have read Raafi al-Kamel's text in full, and my opinions on the Islamist section of the Palestinian resistance remain unchanged.
I figured it was probably something to do with the Winter War, but I don't think it's necessarily right to say that disliking Finland is a "thing" because of that. But maybe that's just because I don't know what "disliking Finland" is actually supposed to mean.
It's a reference to Seinfeld. The character in the top frame is Newman, "nemesis" of main character Jerry, the character in the bottom frame.
When Jerry and Newman bump into one another, they are known to exchange greetings: "Hello, Jerry" — "Hello, Newman", usually said with a smug and/or contemptuous intonation. This is the recurring gag referenced in the top frame.

When Newman has pulled some sort of petty, vindictive scheme against Jerry, thereby causing Jerry some sort of vexation or misfortune, Jerry will often mutter "Newman!" with a clenched fist. This is the recurring gag referenced in the bottom frame.

I have never noticed Hexbear having any sort of particular beef with Finland, so I don't know what that's about.

My first temptation was to say "JK Rowling writing a Jewish character ass name", too, but apparently Mizrahi has been a fairly common (or at least not unheard of) surname for centuries. Wikipedia seems to indicate that Mizrahi is most often a Sephardic surname — originally pointing to someone who arrived to Iberia from the east — however it seems like there are also a number of actual Mizrahim with the surname Mizrahi, interestingly, including a number of American Jews of Middle Eastern descent. The most famous person named Mizrahi appears to be Elijah Mizrachi (1455-1525), author of The Mizrachi, a very creatively titled supercommentary on Rashi's commentary on the Torah. There was apparently also an Egyptian Olympic fencer in the 1920s named Joseph "Jack" Mizrahi, who I am very curious about now.
So in hindsight, you know, I don't know if Jenny Mizrahi actually chose that name in the same way as Bibi's dad was born Mileikowsky, or if ol' Jenny was like born in Seppoland and was given a typical Anglo forename with the inherited surname Mizrahi. But you know, in any case, with that added context, "Jenny Mizrahi" seems only as silly a name as like, I dunno, Jason Costello or something.

There's three types of people who wish themselves a happy birthday: people who are ridiculously full of themselves, people who are profoundly lonely, and people who put shogi pieces on cakes to torment their siblings.
Really? I guess people with bad ideas would be overrepresented in that group, but it doesn't stand out to me as a red flag as such.
Edit: the bad kind of red flag obviously
If they're anti-furry they're a bit more than "sus" in my eyes.
