"Globes" analysis shows that al-Jazeera proved in Operation Eitan that it is light years away from objective coverage. For example, on Sunday, Al-Jazeera surfers were informed that a Hamas rocket landed at Ben Gurion Airport, and that an Israeli tank was destroyed in Gaza.</blockquote></ref>

High-Bassalik also alleges that non-Arabic and female employees were treated as "second class citizens." Arabic employees were routinely given inflated performance reviews and promoted to jobs they were not qualified for, High-Bassalik alleges. Al Shihabi would often exclude female employees from meetings and would "leave meetings where female employees were giving presentations and [state] that he would only return when such employees had stopped speaking."

The lawsuit also alleges that the company's management promoted an anti-Israel bias, and when employees tried to counter the messages, they were told they were too biased in favor of the country.

Shannon High-Bassalik, who was fired in February from Al Jazeera America, claims in a lawsuit she filed that during Operation Resilient Cliff she was asked to present Israel as a criminal and emphasize the Arab point of view.
High-Basalik claims that the person who served as head of Al Jazeera America, Ahab al-Shihabi, left the working meetings in which women spoke and admitted that he was trying to work to promote the Arab point of view in the broadcast, to please the owner in Qatar. Al Shahibi himself was fired after an employee sued Al Jazeera and accused her colleagues of antisemitic and sexist behavior. Three American women, a senior deputy head of the news, the head of human resources and the head of the media department, resigned within weeks.</blockquote></ref><ref>David Bauder, [https://www.timesofisrael.com/former-al-jazeera-america-journalist-suing-network-for-bias/ Former al-Jazeera America journalist sues over anti-Israel, pro-Arab bias], ''TOI'', 12 June 2015.<blockquote>
