You have rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, as well as shipments proven to carry weapons destined for Gaza.

I don't understand what kind of other 'proof' people need before they realize that Israel HAS to blockade Gaza for the protection of their own citizens.
I don't read anyone that objects to Israel's right to use the blockade to keep the shipments free of weapons. I certainly don't, and past instances of ships trying to bring in weapons is justification to maintain the blockade to curb weapons.

But the blockade as it is now is well beyond a weapons blockade.
