In between the time Israel disassembled their settlements and the time Hamas was elected, Israel still maintained occupying power of Gaza.

Except they did stop.
There was no blockade until after Hamas came into power. The Gaza Strip also shares a border with Egypt. They also placed a blockade at the same time....I assume because the Egyptians are apartheid racists too...oh no wait they are the exact same race/ethnicity/religion as the Gazans. Maybe Hamas is just dangerous.
