The above command shouldn't do anything useful to iso8 text, and has a
chance of trashing a bit UTF-8 text (I'm not sure, though). Are you sure
that this is what you use?

biditext only affects X applications. mutt and iconv are commnd-line
programs. If you're into piping, pipe through fribidi(1) (whose default
charset is UTF-8, but that can be changed) or bidiv (which outputs in
ISO-8859-8, for both ISO-8859-8-i and UTF-8 input)
