prettygoodwordmisopolemist (mee-soh-poh-LEM-ist) - n., one who hates war or strife.
Not so much "Why can't we all get along?" as "Get along, dammit!" Also, not someone who spreads hatred by speech or essay, which would be a misopolemicist (I think). From Greek root miso-, hate + polemic, a strong written or spoken attack against someone's opinions/practices, from French polémique, from Middle French polemique, controversial, from Greek polemikos, warlike, hostile, from polemos, war.
