peacemonger
Anti-conflict crusader
A peacemonger advocates for peace, typically used dismissively by those who view such advocacy as naive, excessive, or obstructive.
The term mirrors warmonger but inverts the charge—where warmongers are accused of stirring up conflict, peacemongers are accused of pushing for peace at any cost: The hawks dismissed the negotiators as peacemongers unwilling to face reality.
