These variables are buffer-local, as described in their doc strings.
So setting them in your .emacs has no effect on the buffer where you
afterwards type the text.

You need either set the variables via "M-:" from the buffer where you
need that, or, if you want this by default in all buffers, change the
above settings in your .emacs to this:

(setq-default bidi-paragraph-start-re "^")
(setq-default bidi-paragraph-separate-re "^")

As yet another possibility, if you want this setting only in certain
major modes, you can use the setq forms in a mode-hook.
