I think that you're assuming that UN resolutions have some inherent worth. Otherwise, you wouldn't use the term "defiance", and instead you would just say that the Israelis ignore the UN. The point of the post was to raise the issue of whether the UN ahs any relevance at all: morally, legally, or practically, and what the false belief in the UN and international law means for the people on the ground.
