Since the usage of the Hebrew strings is for testing only, I actually think that it is an advantage to not have the bidi-algorithm applied since then you get a one-to-one representation of the text of the text buffer. Which for my case would be emacs, but vi (without any additional flags) would be good enough.
An alternative to vi is my old DOS editor HED.EXE but it doesn't support UTF8. It doesn't even support iso-8859-8... But with a few iconv scripts it should be possible...
