For context, the US still has an embassy in Russia.

Good on Ireland for sticking to their guns

They remember well the boot of colonial oppression.

They are shameless and arrogant people. This is a win for Ireland, the trash is throwing itself out.

Arab and Muslim countries that still have Israeli embassies should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't think it's a win for anyone (apart from Bibi). This just removed an avenue to put pressure on israel, question their genocidal tactics and try to bargain for humanitarian aid to Palestine. Embassies and diplomacy are in fact most important between vastly disagreeing countries.
