I think that Shmoel’s post intentionally or not, reflects an elitist idea that many Jews hold, because they take the expression that Jews are superior to non-Jews as an all or nothing idea. Jews are superior in a spiritual sense, our neshomas have something extra with which Hashem has gifted us. But the lowest Jew IMO is not better than the best non-Jew, if by low we mean scrum of the earth (and R”L there are such Jews). Levi Aron, is not better than a morally pure non-Jew who saved Jewish lives during the Holocaust. His Jewish neshoma has the potential to make him better, but he chose to ignore that potential and be a rasha. I will take the Goy over him anyday.
