The word translated "peace" is the Hebrew word shalom. It means peace, but so much more than that. It means health and wholeness for the individual and for the community. It means the ability to thrive in relationship with others. It means the inclusion of all in health and wholeness. If one is left out, shalom has not been achieved.
Fact:
These words enacted would change the world. Period.
For the sake of my relatives (clan, family people, kingdoms, nation) and friends (neighbor) I will say, "Peace (shalom) be with you." For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. (Psalm 122:8-9)
