Yes the two words a synonyms, but not all synonyms mean exactly the same thing and all can't be used the same way either. Considering that Kabuto was in full control and with Koto, Itachi is released from compulsion, thus Itachi defies Kabuto's will. Resisting cannot be used in this case because Itachi indeed was not being controlled any longer. Anyways, resist is a synonym not best used in this case, sorry.
