Some pacifists are pacifists out of genuine conviction. Some are pacifists out of convenience. Some are pacifists out of ego. Some, out of ignorance, or laziness, or inability to discern reality from daydreaming. Some even out of sheer wetting-their-pants fear. And, again, some out of genuine conviction.

There are all flavors. They are not all equal in motive.

There are pacifists I would "attack" in the sense of feeling no respect or empathy with them at all. There are equally pacifists I would hold in absolute respect.

I don't think blanket statements either way are appropriate. I'm not scum.
