Peacemakers are not pacifists, at least in the beatitudes, they're not. When Jesus gave us the beatitudes, there wasn't a war going on, not in Pax Romana. And no threat of war, either. So, pacifism wasn't intended, at all.
The interpretation is a blessing on the people who work towards harmony in the community. Now, this is something to chew on in today's times, where division is rife in our politics and religion.
Peace to you means "God's peace" means keep harmonious relations with one another.
Peace.
