What I know is that the entire point of the blockade was to “strangle” Hamas, and run them from power. And in reality it has strengthened Hamas by all objective measures. Not to mention failed to prevent further rocket attacks. So why the hell is Israel still maintaining the blockade?

Really? The blockade has strengthened Hamas … how? You mean, strengthened them even more since the Palestinians of Gaza voted for them overwhelmingly? How does that work?

And haven’t you been constantly complaining that Gaza has been virtually destroyed, the people are destitute, they have nothing, etc.?

If all that’s true, how the hell does this equate to “Hamas is strengthened?”

You’re arguing out of both sides of your mouth.
